Maybe it squeezes last minute GMAT people. If they signed up for a August GMAT back in May, thinking they had two more months afterwards to do the app, they'd be super stressed out in june/july finding out that nearly every school pushed up their deadlines. They could be so stressed at the end that they push to R2 to submit their best work.

I imagine this would affect the Kellogg R1 pool more than HBS though since Kellogg announced so late whereas HBS was first or nearly first. Also, HBS tends to be a #1 choice moreso than Kellogg. I think we all collectively just hope that 1000 people were deterred from an earlier deadline haha.

Anyone also applying to Sloan R1?

I'm wondering how I can work it where (IF I get invitations from both Sloan and HBS) I can make a single trip to Boston in order to interview. I would really hate to have to do two separate trips so close together - realistically I would try to do a remote interview for one of them in that case.

Does anyone have any insight in to this?

I am also grappling with the same issue with Berkeley and Stanford (again BIG IF I get invited).

I'm currently in CET, and having to get through a full day of work before the emails is proving to be absolutely brutal.

Same here, I'm debating whether I should even go in to work.

I'm nailbiting too. 2 1/2 hours until the first notification. I'm trying to convince myself I'm going to be rejected but it's tough.

The problem is that none of us will get rejected today, next we will still have hope that we are one of those 200 that get an invitation or at least go to the WL...

I'd definitely echo that. Its probably good to have tempered expectations when it comes to HBS, regardless of the strength of your profile. I made the mistake of re-reviewing my application (for the 10,000th time) and doing more HBS application research (again, for the 10,000th time) subsequent to submitting my application. Just couldn't resist.

Best of luck everyone!
