Did anyone else who was admitted not get a call from HBS? I was hoping to speak to the HBS caller and ask a few questions, but I haven't been called yet. Thanks!

Congrats to those who were admitted! I can only wish I was in your position. For those who were waitlisted, did you guys receive any e-mail confirming that you were successfully put on the waitlist? Also, have you guys received any e-mail from Eileen Chang on further instructions for those waitlisted? I think Dee mentioned something about an e-mail being sent out later today on that in her waitlist invite, but I have not received any e-mail. Thanks!

I'm applying for HBS 2+2 in late 2011.

Stats in detail (hope this helps other 2+2's):
3.1 GPA undergrad/3.5 GPA last two years. State school.
Economics major, marketing minor
GMAT 680-720 on practice exams
Recommendations from HBS grad and VP of large Aerospace company
Director of fundraising for entrepreneur club - raised over $10k individually to send the entire club to Chicago for national business plan competition
First person in my family to make it to college
Worked 20-65 hrs weekly throughout college (paid my way through)
Latin/Hispanic female
Owned 4 profitable dance studios, sold them
Worked internship in Aerospace/Defense for 2 years (part-time)
Volunteer work: creating start-ups with high school entrepreneurs.

I have consistent focus on start-ups and work experience, but not so much on academics. Not sure how disadvantaged I am, but I am looking forward to applying. I'm even looking forward to the application process--it should help me discover myself and reveal my motivations.

Same here, but got an e-mail from my interviewer saying she would try to be in touch by phone sometime in the next 24hrs.

I'm in Texas and I haven't gotten the call. I did get the pre-matriculation email though.
I wonder if they'll be calling tomorrow as well? I'm sure they've stopped for the day today.
