Too bad it's in the middle of the night for me, otherwise I'd be more than happy to share my experience with applying for HBS. Only matriculating this fall, so I can't comment on life at HBS though.

Will there be a chat at a more convenient time for the rest of the world as well ? :-P

The chat times tend to cater to the people in the USA (as the hosts are typically students or alums working in the USA). We cater to our hosts time zone.

Thanks! This will be fantastic for the follow up chat in Sept/October and hopefully by that time, time zone issue will be resolved ;)

When I'm in the US, I'll be more than happy to help hosting a chat in the morning US-time so that the people who couldn't wake up at 3 or 4 AM for this chat can join as well. Saturday, Sunday or some random public holiday, ... should be feasible to do that, no?

Out of curiosity, how many people signed into the chat last night? How many current students/alumni were present?

Thanks! Definitely feasible for the next one.

I saw 22 or 24 as the highest number.
There were 3-4 students/alums.
Mohater has the exact count

We had 3-4 hosts, and 5 at one point. (some people who said he/she was not available showed up)

Attendees were up and down as well, but 24 or so is about right.

Some people asked about the AWA guide:
how-to-get-6-0-awa-my-guide-64327.html

Sanitized chat log is attached. The names of the hosts have been removed.

Thread has been removed as an announcement.
Next chat will probably take place early to mid October.

journo - see mohater's post from earlier today

mohater - thanks again for organizing the chat yesterday, it was great! Not sure what the interest from other GMAT Club members would be, but any possibility of having a similar chat with alums / students from some European MBA programs?

Also, I was copying and pasting the info from yesterday into a Word document as the chat was going on to help me figure it all out better. All the host names have been sanitized. Please note, this is NOT a complete chat transcript, but rather just shows the main responses to the questions asked. It doesn't include the sidebars and doesn't include most of the post-chat discussion. I also fixed some of the grammar, so this should not be considered a chat transcript or what the hosts said verbatim. I find it a lot easier to read, so thought I'd share in case others are interested.
