If you don't hear good news tomorrow, then the conditional probability of getting an interview invite in wave 2 is about ~2.7% by my math (assuming 4,500 applications in R1 and an 800/100 split between wave 1 and wave 2). The chance of getting waitlisted (assuming the midpoint of Dee's range of 100-150) is slightly higher, ~3.4%.

yep, exactly why I'm gonna forget it if no invites for me tomorrow.

I spoke to two people this week who went to hbs and both happened to get interviews in the 2nd wave- so chill. Posted from my mobile device

A nice fresh bit of perspective here. The conditional probability only makes sense if its a random draw in terms of who is interviewed anyway so no reason to get yourself overly worked up.

I just think logically it's easier for me if I lower my expectation for wave 2 so I wouldn't get too disappointed (and a good surprise would feel more pleasant). but that's just me and my own soothing techniques. And hopefully I'm not the only nerd who finds it interesting to calculate random odds.

Still time to schedule class visits for those looking at submitting for round 2. https://www.hbs.edu/mba/admissions/Pages ... ector.aspx

It's worth noting that you can often visit classes even on days that aren't "official" class visit days. Reach out to any current students you know (particularly RCs) or to leaders within any clubs you're interested in and ask what their class schedule looks like for your potential visit days. As an admissions VP for a club, I brought dozens of guests to class over the course of my RC year and don't think any of them were on admissions-sponsored visit days--my profs and sectionmates never had a problem with it. Just make sure to arrange things in advance so you don't show up on a day that's set aside for recruiting/FIELD/etc. for the whole RC class. Some EC classes aren't bad to visit either. I had a handful of guests during my EC year--mostly personal friends, but a few were on days where RCs couldn't accommodate visitors.

less than 10 hours to go first the first wave.. breath deeply

I recently sat in on a class and will write a blog post at some point. One thing I would say is if you get a chance, definitely take advantage of a class visit. Whether you are applying to HBS or whether you have receive an interview invite, it is a pretty interesting experience to witness the fabled HBS case method in person. While I am crossing my fingers for an interview, even if I get dinged I am still glad to have had a snippet of the HBS experience!
