Hi Guyz/Gals,

I'm a reapplicant and planning to apply in round 2. I have a quick question though, what percentage of admits are filled up in round 1?

Thanks!

Thanks!

I don't think there is any exact data out there on this, but I am under the impression that the split is something like R1/R2/R3: 45/45/10. Everything I have heard leads me to believe that there is approximately the same chance of being admitted in round 2 as in round 1.

Thanks for the info. It's encouraging to hear that there's roughly the same chance in both the rounds! So how's your app journey coming along?

I'll even admit to checking my application status on the HBS website.

I've also been crunching numbers pointlessly (11/18 of post-interview applicants accepted, correct for military/GMAT, carry the one...).

Fun times.

FROM HBS Admissions Blog: Class of 2016 - “Years Out of Undergrad”
We meant to do this earlier, but got distracted by Round 1 applications.

Like many other elements of the Class Profile, please keep in mind that we are “reporting” vs. trying to signal a “template” for the design of a class.

FROM HBS Admissions Blog: Giving Thanks
As we get ready to head home for the Thanksgiving holiday, I thought a little update for both Round 1 post-interviewees and Round 2 applicants might be a good idea.

Round 1 - You've done everything we asked! There's not much more waiting time. As soon as Thanksgiving is over, it's pretty much a hibernation time here for making decisions and checking them twice. Or three times. We are on track to get decisions out on December 10 at 12:00 noon Boston time.

Round 2 - We are looking forward to meeting you! Because of the holiday calendar, we've already decided to move the Round 2 application deadline to January 6. We'll write more about our winter holiday schedule in a couple of weeks, but we will definitely be closed from December 24 until we re-open on January 5, 2015. Before we close for the winter break, we are offering many opportunities for you to get your questions answered about the application as well as to learn more about the school. We will be hosting webinars throughout the next month on topics like the 2+2 program, the community of women at HBS, and diversity perspectives on the MBA program. These are in addition to general QA webinars where we answer any questions you have about the application process. Please join us either online or in person – we will continue to offer on campus tours and information sessions until the winter break.

So, in closing, we are thankful for all the hard work you put into your applications and are honored that you want to be HBS students.

The longest wait will be on the decision day itself, as you wait for the clock to hit noon. I probably checked the time every 2 mins. And I definitely spent the entire morning distracted on this website... Not a very productive period for me :-)

The typo might just tip the scale the wrong way :twisted: .... Just kidding, they are pretty explicit in the fact that they don't put the same rigour in checking the post interview reflection as they would in an essay.

Harvard Business School‘s new digital learning initiative, HBX, held a closing ceremony earlier this month to formally mark the completion of its first offering, HBX CORe (Credential of Readiness).

https://www.stacyblackman.com/2014/11/17 ... -complete/

CORe is an interactive online program specially designed by HBS faculty members and was first offered this summer to undergraduates and recent graduates interested in learning the fundamentals of business through a suite of three courses in Business Analytics, Economics for Managers, and Financial Accounting.

More than 100 of the nearly 500 participants who finished the nine-week CORe program and exam came to the Harvard Business School campus to take part in various activities and a ceremony, as well as the distribution of a credential recognizing successful completion of the program.

“We are delighted to honor these and all the other students who completed these courses in the basics of business,” said Dean Nitin Nohria.

“From beginning to end, they were engaged in the kind of rigorous, interactive learning that has long been the hallmark of Harvard Business School’s pedagogy. We believe this program also marks an important milestone in the development of online education.”
The CORe program was offered for a fee to a targeted group of students, in contrast to free massive open online courses, or MOOCs, and was based on an innovative technological platform specifically designed to offer an interactive experience that mirrors many of the elements in the HBS case teaching approach.

“The fact that 85 percent of those who began the HBX CORe program finished it is testament to the success of this new model of online education,” Dean Nohria observed.

In offering the CORe program for the first time, HBX facilitated the process by limiting eligibility to students enrolled in Massachusetts colleges and universities and to the children of Harvard University faculty, staff, and alumni.

“Our intent behind CORe was to create a program that would allow students from very different backgrounds – humanities, social sciences, and STEM [science, technology, engineering, and mathematics] majors – to gain basic fluency in essential business concepts and decision making,” said Professor Bharat Anand, faculty chair of HBX.

“Through the efforts of our faculty and the HBX staff members, we have been able to create an immersive online experience that prompted a high level of participant engagement, including rich peer-to-peer interactions that greatly enhanced the learning experience,” Anand continued. “We’ve been delighted to see that the participant response to CORe has been overwhelmingly positive.As one student put it, ‘This has been the best proxy for any classroom experience I have seen so far’.”

The next offering of the CORe program will begin on Feb. 25, 2015. Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis. Future cohort start dates will be announced shortly.

Surprisingly, there were no updates to my application on Thanksgiving.

How's everybody doing? I'm mentally preparing myself for whatever comes next week.

Thanksgiving helped since I was traveling. This week is the worst. A full week, uninterrupted by distractions, to think about next Wednesday.
