HBS will hear by Oct 26th because from 26-9th the interview invites go out then on the 9th... dings/waitlit for those not interviewed :P Wharton not sure, didn't even care to look at that school after about 5 min looking at Philly rofl... i couldn't spend a month there nevermind 2 years...



I could spend 2 years wherever, to be honest - Hanover as easily as Philly. Geographics are not a concern anyway, as I've moved from Scandinavia over here for college and work, and so whether i'm 250 miles north or 250 miles south (or whatever phiilly is - much less, i'm sure), doesn't matter to me. What matters now is some resolution on what my life will be over the next years...

Hi there,
application submitted on the 10/02, status changed to "under review" on the 10/04... and nothing :cry: . Is it a good or a bad sign? I'm seeing people in the forum who submitted the day and already invited for interview...

HAH! I went for an interview for the EMBA last winter, walked around a little bit for myself before headed to school. Sure, not the most picturesque of places, but the people I met were fine enough to deal with.

That said... I do think NYC>Philly.

I'm from NY and live in Philly now. NYC is DEFINITELY > PHILLY. The best thing about Philly is its proximity to NYC. However, after living in the Midwest for 8 years, I am OVERJOYED to be living in Philly...now if I could just get rid of all the Eagles fans.

I would not worry to much. I think they send out interview invites throughout the review process. I would only start worrying if you have been under review for about 4-6 weeks without a interview invite. Everything else is fine.

Thank you! It's conforting. I think the subjective part of my application is good (essays, international, woman etc) but I'm worried about the numbers. My GMAT is borderline (650) and I didn't study in the US, so my GPA doesn't mean anything...
Well, patience...

I'm in the same boat as you mbagirl, I submitted on 10/1 and haven't heard anything back either. MY GMAT is decent but my gpa is low, however I also feel the subjective portions of my application are strong as well. As rgupta said interviews can go out at any time so I guess we just have to wait on em.

I met 2 current students on my last visit to CBS. Both applied ED last year. One waited 6 weeks before receiving an interview call, and the other waited 9 weeks for a call!.
