This just in from Dee:
Round 1 Interviews
Date: October 04, 2011
I know that the feeling of triumph from submitting an application can be short-lived - and gives way to Phase 2, the "Anxiety of Waiting about an Interview." Please be assured that we are in full-scale reading mode as of this morning - all hands are on deck. Let me walk you through Round 1:
•October 3: Deadline for receiving applications has just passed.
•October 26 - November 9: Interview invitations will be issued via email. Please read this part carefully - We don't have some complicated and/or malevolent algorithm that determines which interview invitations go out first or last or even how many go out on any given day. If you'd like to suggest one, give me a call.
•November 9: All candidates not invited to interview will receive one of two communications - "We are unable to offer you a place in the Class of 2014" or an invitation to join our waitlist.
•November 7 - approximately November 29: Interview weeks, both on and off campus. Off campus locations in Round 1 include New York City, Palo Alto, London, Paris, Dubai, Sao Paulo, and Shanghai.
•December 19: Decision notification (admit, deny, or waitlist) for all interviewed candidates.
Now, I need to repeat language I used last year because I can't think of a better way to say it. While no one applies hoping for a "deny" decision, we have heard you say that the worst case is extended uncertainty. We think that getting news out on November 9 is helpful so that denied candidates can re-direct energy toward Round 2 applications to other schools. Yes, we have the resources to ensure a thorough review of all applications before rendering any decisions. All applications are reviewed at least twice. Our Admissions Board is fully staffed and able to make this work.
All those invited to join our waitlist are candidates whom we would like to "further consider." Our plan is for waitlisted candidates to receive further consideration in Round 2. Our intent is for all to receive a final decision by the time we make Round 2 notifications in late March. We completely understand if such a candidate might elect to withdraw his/her application.
I promise that all letters will clearly communicate a candidate's status.
Most of all, we thank all Round 1 applicants for all the hard work and high aspirations that go into these applications. We are humbled and committed to doing our very best to give all candidates full and careful consideration.

Here's hoping for:
1) an interview
2) an interview invitation on 26 October, not 15 days later on 9 November!!!!
Nice of HBS to at least give everyone an up-front timeline of what the progress is going to be for R1. If you look at historical blog posts it appears that previous applicants had been a little more in the dark. Now everyone can put a dot on the wall around which to schedule their neurosis/breakdowns.
Good luck to everybody. I feel like some of the most capable and qualified applicants are on these forums and regardless of the outcome, all we can do is give it our best shot.

Yeah.. waiting till 9th will be a killer.
From what I've heard, most of the invites go out on the first day. Afternoon, more specifically. But of course, Dee will differ on this!
