I thought since it is the Friday before Memorial Weekend that everything would be sent out early!! True, on tuesday it was close to 4pm once the emails seemed to start to roll in.

2pm Pacific and haven't heard a peep... Earlier this month, they said they expected to make the majority of their decisions by May 27th. Even with ~5 people here, I'm surprised nobody heard anything today.

Nothing here either.....given the odds with 5-6 people in here we should have heard at least something. I bet that the pool is so close that they wanted to give it a little more time before they pulled the trigger. Given the fact that it is a holiday weekend they probably just decided that it would be a good idea to table everything until Tuesday. Have a great weekend everyone, try to get some sleep....I know we can't!

Hi all-

I make ~#6 still waiting to hear. I was having trouble logging in but wanted to update you. No news here, either. Do the calls come from the person who interviewed us? Maybe some adcom members took Friday off? Perhaps some calls will come in Tues. I'm trying to stay positive like MBAHubby. I think someone shld have heard by now.

MBAHubby-what are you going to do if there is no news and your deposit is due Tues.? I bet some people might have to make decisions soon based on fam., etc. Are the other schools like Stanford/Wharton's R3 deposits due yet? Perhaps more movement will come?

Good luck everyone--have a great weekend!

Really hoped to have it wrapped up before the holiday. Now I guess we'll need to wait 3 more days.

just myself. adcom only said a majority of decisions will be made by 5/27 but the notification of these decisions will start on 5/27. so there is still good reason to keep hopes up. having said that, hope everyone have an enjoyable memorial weekend.

A friend of mine who was a R3 ding was able to get Dee on the phone to discuss his ding for about 5 minutes--I think he just called whatever number she lists in her emails. It's worth a shot.

emont, curious about the feedback your friend received. Was it more than just scripted boilerplate, or bespoke to his/her profile/app?

I'm familiar with tons of Dee feedback based on kids dinged rounds 1 and 2, when she was officially offering feedback. It's a mixed bag, depending on your situation. She sometimes alludes to fact you blew interview, which happens a lot and is good thing to know, her other favorite line is, "If you worked for Toyota [instead of consulting or IB] we might be more interested, meaning you were just too generic for your cohort, which is, well, always the case w. a ding. Occassionally she might say age, or we did not sense of your need for MBA, all true, blah, blah.

From what he told me it was fairly specific and wasn't just a "well we had lots of quality applicants and couldn't admit everyone."

YMMV though, and given the volume of applications HBS receives I'm surprised she was able to give anything individualized.

No news here, either.

I was glued to my phone last week. This week, I'm putting it on silent to try to mitigate my excitement/anticipation of a possible call.

The "rolling basis" really could mean a call at anytime, although they did want to round out the class by the end of May--so I would think they'd want to notify the 10-15 ppl soon.

Best of luck everyone! I hope we all get in
