I submitted a couple of hours back.

I figured out a small problem with app. PDF version is not taking some info from online application. But website tech guys are saying that thats okay. Some times PDFs don't capture all the info but that info will be in the database. I hope adcom guys take printout from database, not of PDF.

https://www.hbs.edu/mba/admissions/faq.html

General: When I print the application in PDF format, parts of the application appear truncated, unclear and/or do not appear at all. Are these parts seen by the Admissions Board?

The Admissions Office receives the entire application in appropriate format and all fields are viewed clearly by the Board. The document that the applicant views is an unformatted version of the final document.

thanks Saurabh.

Actually, there is a possibility of finding out the *bad* news ahead of 01/16. I believe HBS interviews most if not all admitted applicants.

My guess is if an R1 applicant doesnt get an interview invite by mid-December or so, then a ding is pretty much guaranteed.

P.S:Dont mean to imply that you will be dinged. Just trying to clarify the decision schedule.

Yeah, that's true. Guess we'll see!

Best of luck to all the other HBS applicants!

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

Am getting last minute jitters...I checked everything, paid the money, the took a printout before submission and found a couple of errors in my resume...re-uploaded documents....again found an error....am rechecking again..
