Haha same. Work was slightly ridiculous this past fortnight, and so I was barely thinking about this. But now everyone keeps coming up to me and asking 'So, when's D-day?' 'Are you excited?' 'Are you nervous?'

HURRY UP TIME.

I haven't told anyone at work that I am applying (other than my recommenders) and only a couple of friends. I thought that was tough because I've had to keep this giant secret that consumes my life, but after reading this I'm kind of happy I don't have anyone else adding fuel to the fire. My own anxiety is more than enough :-D

Yes, I'm glad that the only people who know about my MBA applications are: (1) recommenders; (2) family; (3) very very close friends who know better than to ask questions like that. :-)

Ugh I just found out that I will be on the Acela with my entire team when decisions come out on Wednesday. Now my coworkers will get to witness my dread, shock, dismay, etc. up close while the entire train is subjected to the sound of my yelps and/or sobs. Excellent.

Smart move. I'll be in a call interviewing someone... and then in a meeting the next day as I find out about LBS.

FROM HBS Admissions Blog: Round One Notification Day
Getting ready for Wednesday at noon, Boston time. Here's how it works:

Nothing happening 'til Wednesday. We do all our notification online so there's no reason to jump every time a 617 area code pops up on your phone. On Wednesday, you get to choose where you're going to be - and with whom - when the news comes in.

If all goes well operationally (knocking on wood as I write this), emails will be released at noon which will say your decision is ready. Subject line in the email will be HBS Decision Available Online.

When you access your online application, one of three letters will appear:

  • Sorry, but no
  • Waitlist
  • Yes!

More detail will be in each of these letters.

This may be my last chance to really have your attention so I'm going to take advantage:

It's been a privilege to get to know you through the interview process. We thank you for wanting to bring your talent, energy, and sense of purpose here for two years. We are honored.

Wheeeeeeeeeee!

Who's full of nervous pent up energy today? Who's had too many coffees and is on GMT so still has 7 hours (and a board meeting) to go before any news?

Me. That's who.
