You guys with delayed emails are giving me hope, yet my still-empty inbox keeps staring at me each time I refresh it. I'm not sure my heart can take several rounds of this at each school!

I got an invite at 12:04. Those who did not receive, do not lose hope. Time goes on and there are still unsolved problems of tomorrow. Strive for a positive impact day in and day out.


Good luck.

I was thrilled to receive an invite at 12:07 eastern. I am from Mexico and my WE is in media and private equity.
To all those who haven´t, keep in mind that there are 400 places left next week (200 invites + further consideration in 2nd round)
Further Consideration does offer a real chance. I myself was part of last year´s list.
Cheers and hang in there!

Same question. I am aware admissions has said that their is no difference on interviewing on or off campus, but that's the official declaration. Is there any plus on going on campus? So far I can think of two, and please tell me if my reasoning is wrong:

1. Flying from a distant country to visit campus and interview there would show motivations and could be considered proof of HBS being your top choice. (Although I've heard some people say that admissions couldn't care less if you travel to meet them haha)
2. If you think that the sample of people that would interview on the same day as you in your country might be similar to you (i.e: consultants with similar experience), you could somehow differentiate yourself on the interviewers top of mind by going to interview on campus and therefore be compared with another batch.

What do you guys think?

I don't know - they repeatedly emphasize that the location does not matter, and I am inclined to believe them. Because it's not just about commitment - a person can value HBS as their first choice and yet lack the resources to fly to Boston, or might have other commitments that prevents them from doing so. If you can afford it, and it's convenient, a campus visit would be great to also tour the school and sit in on a class etc. But I think that's as far as it goes - I genuinely cannot imagine admissions giving weight to this though.

Anyone know how many of the day 2 or second-wave interviews for R1 were for 2+2 candidates vs. normal candidates? Checked last year's forum and couldn't find a single non 2+2 candidate who received an interview in that second wave.

The biggest upside to interviewing on campus is that it gives you firsthand observations to weave into your answer when you get the "why HBS" type of questions in your interview. Being able to talk about the things you witnessed in discussion groups or case discussions that morning, or the off-the-record input you got from current students, or anything else you like about the campus or faculty or curriculum is pretty valuable.
