Just wanted to say good luck to everyone. It's been an amazing first semester and I wouldn't have traded it for anything!

So any idea when on Tuesday we'll get the announcement?

Has HBS ever done day-before calls like Stanford does?

I assume that's what Dee would've covered in the blog entry she was supposed to do this week.

I've never heard anyone mention day-before phone calls for HBS, and in last year's thread, it looked like the people who got in didn't report anything earlier than those who got dinged. Maybe they purposely waited, I dunno.

Would be nice to just see a final update today, though.

according to sandy, HBS only sends accepts/dings through email on d-day. no early phone calls.

also, from this year's interview invite emails, i'd assume that the accept/ding notice would come between noon ET and 1PM ET. of course, dee dee please feel free to prove me wrong by updating your blog. 8-)

and LOL at the girl on BW (is she on here too?) who says she's not going to HBS now, even if she's admitted, because they didn't give enough timely updates on the process

"Next Tuesday, December 15, is the day we release decisions to all first round applicants. Here's what you can expect:

Some time on Tuesday - most likely close to noon Boston time - you will receive an email from HBS MBA Admissions indicating that your decision is available. When you log into your account, your decision letter will be there.

Important note: No need to wait around by the phone or jump every time it rings - we don't make any phone calls in advance of the online notification. Really. Admits will start to receive congratulatory calls later in the day.

Applicants invited to join the waitlist on December 15 will receive a follow-up email later in the day on Tuesday from Eileen Chang, waitlist manager. The waitlist will be comprised of a mix of candidates who have been interviewed already and those who haven't.

For those candidates who are not admitted: I'm sorry, but we just can't offer personal feedback about your application. Even if we had the staff capacity to do this during the application season, it probably wouldn't be as helpful as you wish. The vast majority of applicants are certainly academically qualified to be here and would bring something interesting to the classroom. The challenge of selection is different from the process of evaluation - in our effort to bring together a diverse and textured class, we make many very tough calls.

We appreciate your patience...not too much longer to wait!"

These next 4 days are going to crawl by...though I guess that will make the weekend seem longer.

I saw I misspelled a word on my app as I was re-reading it last night. Surely that won't be the tipping point...

RIGHT?

Right. I find it very hard to believe that would be sufficient to make them ding you.
