Re: Calling all HBS 2011 Applicants!! (Including 2+2) [#permalink]
R3 WL still in the running here..... They said they would offer some spots by end of the week. I think I read that they have 10-15 spots left. I am hoping by Friday or Tuesday we here something! Have to put a deposit down on 6/1 for another school that is a definete yes, but HBS is our#1 choice so still crossing fingers for it.

Any WLers still alive? The remaining 30? When do you think they'll make the final decision?


Also, has anyone resubmitted on the WL poll that they want to remain on the WL? Or, do we just keep things as they are an assume we are automatically still active on the WL from our original poll submission?

no resubmission as far as I know. And I believe they will admit 10~15 on a rolling basis starting this Fri.

I wonder how many they will admit on Friday.... Is there definetly 10-15 spots open and then the rest remain on the WL if more spots become available?

When do classes begin?

Re: Calling all HBS 2011 Applicants!! (Including 2+2) [#permalink]
R2 waitlister still here too. I'm surprised but hopeful.

So there are 30 of us still left and they said they would cull the list to 10 people come June in case acceptees drop out. Does this mean 10-15 admits on Friday / Tuesday and 5-10 dings? That's what the math suggestions, but they tend to err on the side of painting a rosy picture... Best of luck to all of us :)

mbahubby, your results list is VERY random. Waitlisted at HBS and Duke? Do you have an unconventional background?

Yeah, I guess it is a little random. I am actually on here on behalf of my husband, though I feel like I am going through this process as if I am trying to get in too... I am just the support :-D The list of schools came to be because #1 We applied to 10 because we need to go this year and decided late in the game and was R3 in all. Figured the more schools, the better chances #2 We choose top 50 schools according to rankings. 3 from the bottom 50, 3 from the top 5 and the rest in the middle. Also, I wanted to stay East coast so that's where a majority of them are.

That's what I thought. 10~15 admits in the coming week and another 10 to stay on waitlist until July. 0~10 dings depending on if the admitted waitlisters decide to drop out. But all of this probably will happen on a rolling basis, so it'll take more than a day or two.

Notice the difference, in their earlier letters, they said they had about 15 slots for WLers, and that number could change after May 23, if any R3 drop off. Now the slots are 10-15, so 0-5 were already admitted?

Anyway, hope they announce tomorrow, really tired of the waiting game. It doesn't help the chance of getting good housing for my wife and kid

Re: Calling all HBS 2011 Applicants!! (Including 2+2) [#permalink]
They said they had not admitted anyone off the waitlist, and they were not going to start until this Friday, so my guess is that more people accepted in R3 said yes than they originally expected. I am wondering, how many of those 10-15 will get admitted tomorrow... Will it be 10 admits tomorrow and Tuesday, and then the waitlist gets culled down to 10 people, of which 0-5 get admitted over the next two months? Will it be 7-8 admits tomorrow and Tuesday, with them anticipating that 2-3 people will drop later this summer? Aaaaahhhh.

Sounds like there are maybe 4 of us still on GC so I'm glad I'll have others to commisserate, celebrate or continue this nail biting saga with... :)

Brbbeach, I hear you. I hope they admit all 15 tomorrow, as they said in an earlier email that they hope to finalize the class by May 27. (in the last email they said they will START admitting on May 27). Good luck to you my friend! let's keep each other posted

Ok, today is the day. I am guessing if you get in you will get an actual phonecall? Or do you think another email? I wonder what time they will start releasing decisions. I hope it's all at once today, would be nice to be able to relax over the memorial weekend and celebrate!!

it appears there are at least 5 ppl here remain waitlisted, probability wise, at least 2 will most likely get the offer of admission unless there's some bias to those who are active in this forum.

Crickets here too! I can't imagine AdCom trapped in a conference room... poring over 30 apps in excrutiating detail... Furiously debating the merit of every incremental GMAT point and interview answer... Taking turns spinning the diversity roulette wheel... Ahahaha.

I think the Tuesday wave of emails came out around this time... so maybe we'll hear something soon! Eeep. I'm glad I have a busy day at work to distract me!
