Dee's update:

In response to many helpful suggestions, we are changing what you see after you have submitted your application. Instead of just the message that the application has been submitted, you will see an additional note indicating that your application is "under review." Hopefully this will give more reassurance that we are indeed moving applications through the process - something we've been doing all along, but the messaging was confusing.

Never thought that the waiting can be this difficult!

Does this status appear when the application is really being read by an admin official or is it a random message meaning your in for round 2?

I agree with egy that this is just a random message. I have saw a lot of complaints regarding this issue from many different forums, I guess HBS take the initiative to calm some of the applicants.

Like that’s a great help! I know there were gonna review it anyway… What would have helped is if I knew WHEN my application was being reviewed…

on a side note- is there someone who has been accepted to HBS even if they already have an MBA. I have an MBA from an school in a small country. I'm afraid this might be a deciding factor...

Damn it man. I'm starting to get anxious. Which is very new to me. I'm used to casting a die and watching it face one side immediately. This prolonged torture is not very becoming.

The CFA exam results weren't this bad - ever!

I don't like it! :x

I don't know if I agree with you on that.....waiting for my L2 result was torturous. L3 will be more so.

Perhaps, this is just a bit more important than getting my CFA charter (still waiting on the 4 yrs WE). Though, well, the 15 mins or so before clicking "login" I was pretty panicked.

I'm going out to Europe for V-day weekend to see my gf and I'd really rather that trip not be ruined by a no-invite Friday. :(

But, c'est la vie. Everything has a reason I suppose. And by that logic, so does my anxiety, which for some odd reason has almost, but not completely, unnoticeable moments of rapture spread out in between.

Good luck on L3 by the way - the essay parts were more fun.

I think the timing of your situation shows that life is full of more important things than an invite. Everything will fall into place.

Thanks for the wishes, though I'm more of a quantitative guy and my brain works better memorizing useless formulas than writing well-thought out bullet points. Oh well, we shall see. It definitely became a lot more difficult studying for it this time around.

Yeah, i'm with you on that mp. I'm working on studying for L3 right now too and finding it's a lot easier to just zone out on the really qualitative sections. I also need to build up my writing strength, my hand kills after writing just a few sentences.

It definitely has been tough to focus on studying with the HBS app hanging overhead. Oh well, we'll get more clarity in a week or so.

You know what mp? You're right.
I can't let these things get to me. They're important, but I have more important things to look forward to :)

Also, a humble point of note for both you (and anyone else) taking their L3. I was a bit confused about how to approach the essay problems myself. Just remember the following:
1. Learn that darn IPS inside and out!
2. Read the situation of the individual or the corporation
3. One very important point of note is to remember the type of corporation (i.e. Taxable entity, tax exempt charity or foundation etc.) - that way you can think about what is and is not important
4. Finally, think of it as if you were investing your money what concerns would you have - will I need money soon (house, car, kids tuition, etc.), what will the future CFs look like (in and out) and use that to tie the qualitative "story" to the quantitative rules of thumb

Level 3 allows you to express your thoughts about a strategy, and in my opinion the closest it will ever come to teaching you real life application of the theory. So, it may sound a bit hollow from someone who already cleared it, but, concentrate on the big picture for level 3 - they really do try and give you points as long as you touch on the big themes (don't get caught on the minutia of the problem!).

P.S. I think this long post on the CFA exams may qualify me for immediate booting from the GmatClub forum.

Apparently, this is the building within which our fates will be sealed. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
