Posted from my mobile device

Ah, okay. So we shouldn't expect up to 300 invites anymore?

No we shouldnt.

As far as my guesses go, 90% of the invites will be 2+2 and the very few ones will be for the other general crowd.

I dont have hopes for myself. Already working on my R3 app.

Holding admission rate constant from last year, I would expect about 50 invites for GMATclubbers.

Prepare page 1 for the sea of red. Good luck everyone.

Does anyone know if you are able to schedule your interview as soon as you receive a positive email from HBS in say 48 minutes time?

And how does organising a Skype interview work? What do they mean by "if you cannot travel"? Do you register through the normal avenues?

I've seen that as well, but would say your guess is as good as anyone's. There is no formal split, so everyone is just hypothesizing based on past tendencies, but I'm sure it is 70-30 some years and 90-10 others.

Either way, you'll have your answer in 30 minutes.

Should we assume that they'll be really so precise to send their emails exactly at noon (in 2 minutes)? Or does "noon" mean "around noon"?

People from the last batch/ rounds reported getting emails as late as 12:10pm.

Here we go!

Surprised to get the message below. Has anyone seen it before?
----
The MBA Admissions Board has reviewed your application materials and we will be deferring your application for further consideration. This is an indication that we remain interested in your candidacy, but would like to continue to review your application.

If during further review of your application we decide to extend an invitation to interview, we will notify you via email. Interviews are by invitation only - please do not contact our office with a request for an interview.

Eileen Chang, Director, MBA Admissions, will be in touch soon to provide additional clarity on this process and a timeline. Please email Eileen if you do not want to remain in consideration.

We will continue to give your application full and thoughtful review as our admissions season continues. We appreciate your interest in Harvard Business School and are grateful for your patience.

Ding without interview, no email yet. Pulling for Stanford/Columbia now.

Fortunately, I'm working from home today because of the snow, so I can just blast some music/dance it out/snuggle with my cat/do whatever I have to do to take the sting away!
