Dinged. Not going to lie and say I'm not disappointed but I saw this coming after missing out on wave 1. It's likely for the best though as I did sense I was a better fit at other places to which I applied.

Best of luck to those still in the running.

denied.

not as dissappointed as i thought i would be, but now the anxiety is strongly building on my MIT app... :shock:


edit: mine said they hope I consider reapplying in a regular round (but i'm guessing that's a standard 2+2 response)

Sorry to hear about that dude, I figured you'd have as good a chance as anyone at an invite. GL w/ your Wharton application, I'm still waiting for my invite, if it exists...

Diiiiiinged. But at least we now have closure. I am very thankful for the transparency and expediency of the round 2 decision from HBS, and wish the other schools would follow suit!

I love the language though. I'm sure it's crafted by Dee:

The MBA Admissions Board sincerely appreciates your interest in our program, and recognizes the considerable potential and strength evident in your application. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you a place in the MBA Class of 2014. I am sorry to convey disappointing news.

In reviewing this round of applications, we saw a great deal of talent, accomplishments and energy. Please know that composing a cohort with maximum texture and range in experience, backgrounds, and perspectives is an extremely difficult task. Ultimately, it is a matter of numbers -- due to the large number of applications we receive, we are unable to admit many strong candidates -- candidates who have excellent credentials and who demonstrate strong promise for careers in management.
We thank you for considering Harvard Business School. Please accept our best wishes for future success.


Oh well...

I have a question for you guys on this day of dings.
I was dinged in R1. Now I'm choosing between Sloan and waiting for a year to take another swing at HBS and Stanford.
What would you guys do in this situation?
