Thank you very much.

When I did campus visit the admin said after interview, the acceptance rate is about 50%.

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.

Does anyone have an idea on this??

Those who are still waiting, HBS will be sending another 150 invitations on Oct 15. Hope you will find yours in that batch. :)

based on the stats, (about 11% of the applications come from 2+2?) there should be some? maybe 50 out of 150?

Indeed there will be invitations for non 2+2 applicants, but not sure about their proportion. No any indication in their blog post either.


FROM HBS Admissions Blog: For Round 1 Applicants - News about Interview Invitations
Here's what our plan is for tomorrow, October 8:

At 12:00 noon ET, we will send interview invitations via email to roughly 800 Round 1 applicants. The email will contain detailed instructions on the scheduling process.

On October 15, we will extend about 150 additional invitations. On that date we will also notify another group of applicants that we wish to further consider their applications in Round 2. Again, the email will provide information about the timetable and communication plan for this group. We anticipate that there will be ~200 applicants in this group.

Please don't speculate about the difference between receiving the interview invitation on October 8 vs. the 15th. It's not about you. It's about us and how we set internal deadlines for applications to be read.

Important: 2+2 candidates will be invited to interview in the October 15 wave. There will be no news for 2+2ers on October 8.

October 15 is also the date on which we will release candidates who are not moving forward in our process. We hope that by doing this early, we are enabling this group to pursue other options sooner vs. later.

Good news: My guess: roughly 70-80 non 2+2 invites ll be sent.

They accept roughly ~100 2+2 ppl. Let's assume 40 those are accepted through R1. As the success rate of being interviewed is 50%, roughly ~70-80 2+2 R1 applicants ll be interviewed, leaving 70-80 non 2+2 invites on the table.

Bad news: Assume we have 4000 R1 applicants and ~11% of those are 2+2 as someone mentioned above, 800 invites sent, leaving 2750 (4000-450-800) candidates who have not heard anything from the school. The chance of getting accepted now decreases to 80 over 2750, which is 2.5-3%.

It is probably the same percentage as today's invites. The analysis above assumes that no one has been dinged. But this makes no sense. HBS can't go over 2700 some applications in a week. Only a small set probably remains to be evaluated. Just because they haven't released anyone doesn't mean the ding hasn't already happened.

Agreed with the above. Chances have only diminished in perception. In reality, (in theory), if there is no discernible difference in receiving an invite next week and today, then your odds have not changed at all.

Got an interview!! Was in meetings all day and came back to my desk with a pretty sweet email!

What are everyone's thoughts regarding on vs. off campus interviews? I'm leaning strongly towards on!

Edit: Been lurking for several months now. For those who haven't gotten an invite, just know that your dreams aren't over yet. Many said HBS was a stretch for me, but I didn't let that stop me from applying. Good luck!

I wish they would go ahead and ding whoever they already plan on dinging. I didn't get an interview today. It's okay - onwards and upwards! But I rather not hold onto a tiny bit of hope if they've already made up their minds to ding me. I'm trying not to even think about next week since it's not likely that I'll get an interview, but I can't help think about the "what if."

At least HBS notifies applicants on 2 dates. For Stanford, I'm going to have this same anxiety every day until Thanksgiving!

I was totally expecting a ding from HBS and made it a point not to read anything on it and let the notices come whenever they come. Turns out I rid myself of lots of stress and even got a nice surprise without any of the suspense! Get in or not, I'm just happy that I am being considered given the fact that many said it was a stretch!

For those fretting about numbers for next week, see the highlighted section of a blog post from Dee last year. The way I read it is that the the 2+2 applicant numbers are not included in the numbers she's reporting for wave 1 vs. wave 2 interview invites (given that she called out the Feb 7 vs. Feb 6 change). I don't think this is a wild assumption - it wouldn't really make sense to combine the two applicant pools in any reported statistics, considering the 2+2 candidates don't matriculate at the same time. I could also be wrong, lol (as per the bold text below).

ROUND 2 INTERVIEW INVITATIONS

Greetings from snowy Boston. Here's what is going to happen tomorrow.

At (hopefully) noon, Boston time, we will send out the first wave of invitations to interview in Round 2.

You'll get an email from HBS MBA Admissions, which will give detailed instructions on the sign-up process.

As stated before, we'll be interviewing on campus and in the following hub locations: London, Paris, Shanghai, Dubai, Mumbai, Sao Paulo, Palo Alto and NYC.

Heads up to 2+2 candidates: All interview invitations to this group will be sent in the second wave on February 6 (Note: I posted earlier that this would be February 7 – we've moved it up to February 6).

Another heads up to those on the waitlist from Round 1 who have not interviewed yet: You will be included in one of the two waves if being invited to interview this round – if you are not invited to interview, you will be "released" on February 6.

Remember, this is just the first of two invitation waves. In Round 1, we sent about 800 invitations in Wave 1 and about 100 in Wave 2.

PLEASE don't send any additional material or letters of support to the Admissions Board – or me or the Dean's Office or anyone else. We will only consider material sent at the time of application submission and that means 3 recommendations for everyone (or 2 if you are a 2+2 applicant), not more. We do everything we can to keep this process fair and equitable – we hope and expect that you will support this effort.

For those fretting about numbers for next week, see the highlighted section of a blog post from Dee last year. The way I read it is that the the 2+2 applicant numbers are not included in the numbers she's reporting for wave 1 vs. wave 2 interview invites (given that she called out the Feb 7 vs. Feb 6 change). I don't think this is a wild assumption - it wouldn't really make sense to combine the two applicant pools in any reported statistics, considering the 2+2 candidates don't matriculate at the same time. I could also be wrong, lol (as per the bold text below).

ROUND 2 INTERVIEW INVITATIONS

Greetings from snowy Boston. Here's what is going to happen tomorrow.

At (hopefully) noon, Boston time, we will send out the first wave of invitations to interview in Round 2.

You'll get an email from HBS MBA Admissions, which will give detailed instructions on the sign-up process.

As stated before, we'll be interviewing on campus and in the following hub locations: London, Paris, Shanghai, Dubai, Mumbai, Sao Paulo, Palo Alto and NYC.

Heads up to 2+2 candidates: All interview invitations to this group will be sent in the second wave on February 6 (Note: I posted earlier that this would be February 7 – we've moved it up to February 6).

Another heads up to those on the waitlist from Round 1 who have not interviewed yet: You will be included in one of the two waves if being invited to interview this round – if you are not invited to interview, you will be "released" on February 6.

Remember, this is just the first of two invitation waves. In Round 1, we sent about 800 invitations in Wave 1 and about 100 in Wave 2.

PLEASE don't send any additional material or letters of support to the Admissions Board – or me or the Dean's Office or anyone else. We will only consider material sent at the time of application submission and that means 3 recommendations for everyone (or 2 if you are a 2+2 applicant), not more. We do everything we can to keep this process fair and equitable – we hope and expect that you will support this effort.
