If you are invited for an interview, you will need to complete your interview by Friday, December 3rd .

Haven't heard anything on my end...waiting game continues. Anyone else hear?

Guess the wave is over?we only have 18th feb now... Posted from my mobile device

I got the invite! Can't believe it... My page also changed to Submitted about half hour before receiving the email.

i thankfully heard back from hbs and was keeping my fingers crossed for wharton as well, but guess i will wait until feb 16. good luck to all.

Seems kinda quiet for 1/2 of the interviews....

I also got an interview today (international applicant)

Got an invite...disappointed by HBS, but this brightened my day. Probably a dumb question, but are there any US hub cities? It looked like the choices were international or Phili.

Yeah seems really quiet. Did 1/2 really go out? Where are you 50% hiding?! Good luck to everyone else for the second batch!
