R1 has a slightly higher acceptance rate than R2 for some reason.

From the year I saw data shared (analysis on Reddit I haven’t kept track of), the R1 acceptance rate is around ~13% and the R2 acceptance rate is around ~8% (for some specific year). The number of applicants is historically about 3000 in R1, therefore 390 students are offered admission. The 2+2 program has about ~120 admits and the class size for HBS this year will be in the high 900s, low 1000s. From here, we have 1000 seats, less 390 R1 admits, less 120 2+2 admits, leaving 490 seats for R2. If there are 9600 applicants yearly, less 3000 applicants from R*551, less 1000 applicants from 2+2, it implies a 8.75% admit rate in round 2.

I imagine someone will comment to offer a dispute so feel free to believe whoever makes you feel more confident - you can do it!


thank you for the explanation, Charles!

Hi all,

I was deferred from R1 to R2 under "further consideration". Does anyone have any insights into whether you can handicap how an applicant waitlisted at HBS stacks up at say Wharton, Columbia or other M7 schools? I know it is not a perfect science, but wondering if being waitlisted at HBS means your chances at Columbia are relatively good.

Also wondering some general stats, so any insight on the following would be helpful:
- % invited to interview R1, % rejected, % under Further Consideration
- % FC invited to interview R2, % accepted
Hello, I was put into further consideration by HBS last year and then in Dec i shared an additional information update. Later along with R2 applicants they bumped me up to an confirmed interview. Let me know if you need any help with the additional information letter. Having said that i was straight dinged from Wharton, MIT and Booth probably bcos of poor quality of application submitted. So i would say a HBS waitlist has nothing to do with other school, treat all of them as an independent application.

We haven’t discussed about further consideration candidates :) It was mostly around how to prepare for the interview.

For people taking GMAT test at Pearson VUE test centre in Delhi - best way to reach is to drop down at "Barahkhamba metro station" and then the test centre from there is at sleep walking distance. Building is adjacent to the metro station. Do not drop at Rajiv Chauk metro station- it takes a lot of time to navigate to the place then. Metro situation is not at all good in Delhi atm - Huge waiting times! Hope this helps.

hey everyone! i had my HBS interview this morning and I want to assure you, it wasn’t intimidating or adversarial at all! they truly just wanna get to hear more from you on why you made decisions you did, what drives you, and what you’ve been involved in at work. Take some deep breaths, and just bring your authentic self and tell your genuine story.
