ding for me as well. Really hoping to get into Booth, and eat some deep-dish pizzas.

Congrats to everyone who got an invite.

This year's proportion of folks getting interview invites here seems really low :(

This is brutal. Nothing on app screen (still just says submitted, even in details), no email...I'm guessing that's probably a wait list but the suspense (again) is killing me.

UPDATE: Deferred. Which, for me, is brutal, as this is a top choice for me. More waiting! I would feel so much better if I could just get interviewed....


Hey, you know what? Deferred means that we're officially the rarest of the lot. Only 200/4000! :)

I've got a question, did they say specifically that they'll defer to R2? Mine said "If during further review of your application we decide to extend an invitation to interview, we will notify you via email." Just wanted to know if I should reserve a couple of days of vacation for this year in case I get invited for an interview out of the blue lol.

Based on the blog post from admissions, deferred to Round 2, so I would expect we learn of our status during that time (Jan+)

Ding for me too! But I'm glad I know for sure and it's not drawn out. Good luck to the deferred and invited!

Best,

FROM HBS Admissions Blog: Round 1 - Next Steps
While you are happily back in your Real Lives, Dillon is in reading mode.

This is how the next stage of the process will unfold:

Interview invitations will be sent out via email on October 8 and October 15. Candidates invited to interview will receive detailed instructions about the sign-up procedure. The interview scheduler will go live the following day.

On October 15, candidates who will not be invited to interview will be notified of their release.

A group of Round 1 applicants, possibly 100-150, will be placed under Further Consideration. These candidates will be reviewed in Round 2 and either be invited to interview or released on the Round 2 timetable.

Round 1 interviews will be conducted between October 20 and November 21. Not all dates will be available in all locations. In addition to on-campus interviews, we will be interviewing in New York City, Palo Alto, London, Paris, Shanghai, Tokyo, Dubai, Mumbai, Sao Paulo, and Santiago. Candidates who cannot travel may be accommodated via Skype.

I've said this before, but it bears repeating: We love having interviewees visit campus and will have a full day of get-to-know HBS activities, but the location of your interview plays no part in the selection process.

Onward.

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.

And now, a request: Please don't send any additional materials or letters of support. We've designed an evaluation process that we believe is as thorough and fair as we can make it. It's not perfect, but it certainly is a process to which we dedicate a tremendous amount of care and concern.

Finally, I don’t think I've said this yet: Thank you to all Round 1 applicants. You met quite an early deadline! The buzz around Dillon House these past few weeks has been: Wow, this is a strong group - really strong. We're impressed and pleased and proud that HBS is the place you'd like to be. The vast majority of you are very well-qualified to be students and these decisions are tough. We're doing it the old-fashioned way - one application at a time - and wish we could say yes to so many more.

Back to work.

Deferred for me as well. Looks like I will have some difficult decisions in a few months after R1 results come in.

Stats were 750/3.9/"public ivy"/IBD and buyside experience

Would you mind if I ask what your stats are? Are you applying to a joint program?

Good question, but looking at the stats for a lot of the dings...I can't say I am surprised.

I've had several reputable consultants tell me even with my 3.7 / 740, I would be a reach. :shock:
