Calling all HBS 2011 Applicants!! (Including 2+2)

Tomorrow sounds right. I'm not holding my breath at this point, but its unfortunate that this is the first one to send out such invites. Scares you a little bit for the process overall going forward...sigh...

I think this forum might be stress inducing instead of relieving, by the way. Another guy at my office, who doesn't track anything here and also doesn't have an interview invite yet, is much less stressed about HBS. When I told him that the prevailing view is most interview slots are taken, he just said he doubts it and that I'm giving up prematurely. Wish he was right but it's more likely the statement "ignorance is bliss" applies.

The HBS submission confirmation email itself says the invite period is between Oct. 15th and Nov. 3rd, so common sense (and not information gleaned from this forum) would dictate that chances aren't good at this point. While it has been somewhat stressful to read through every update on interview invites and slots open, I've found it comforting to speak to others going through the process. That being said, I may not check forums quite as religiously for other schools

I still have hope for tomorrow

all the best ppl... do we have any feedback from the ongoing interviews.. where is everyone?

This post is so quiet ...my guess is everyone is preparing for interviews and those who have not got an invite have moved on with their lives...left here are the few over optimists still waiting for a wave to come tomorrow .....

I'm with you!.. We'll get an invite!
If not.. I'll compensate with a pint of ben and jerry's..

Good call on the Ben & Jerry's I've got my pint of Karamel Sutra (or maybe I'll go with Brownie Cheesecake?) ready to go for Friday night

It doesn't look like ANY new interview invites have been reported on the thread since last Friday (unless I missed someone's post on getting an invite this week) so best of luck to my fellow Round 1 applicants tomorrow morning!

To my fellow optimists, I wouldn't break out the Ben and Jerry's just yet - I think we could technically keep waiting this out until Nov 2 as Dee's Oct. 14 blog post said "Please note: We will continue to send out invitations until November 3. Really." So I would interpret that to mean interview invites could continue to trickle out until then. I'm assuming they would only send a handful of invites out after tomorrow morning and before the 3rd but as long as one of those invites is going to your e-mail address, who cares!

Absolutely! All you need is one invite.. The last one may be yours

I'm in the same boat - waiting for an invite. However, just wanted to see if I'm going crazy or what. I noticed in my application page on the top left corner there's a link to HBS message center. Now, I haven't seen or noticed it before, so I started reading into it, being like maybe this means something. Can someone tell me if you have the same thing, and if it's always been there? thanks!

It's always been there. But when you click the link, it should say there are no messages?

Haha, I hate that!

Anyone got an invite today?

anyone got any invites today? I guess its time to move on now

Sorry folks. If we don't get invites today, I think there is a 99.9% chance we're not getting one.

It's been a pleasure blogging with you.
