Hm, the last Dee announcement said: "I'll do another update next week." ,but there is no update this week. Are they breaking a promise?

I actually am starting to wish that bschools could just send all their invites out on one day, instead of this slow trickle. Yes/no/waitlist. I think as future bschool students, it should be our job to bring change and help save our future classmates from the torture :(

well, it's finally out of my hands :? . had my interview on campus yesterday morning. i drove up from the NYC area monday afternoon. spent most of the day driving around boston with my gf. we hit up a few of the more touristy places, while at the same time looking for a place that had clam chowder and lobster bisque. we failed to find one single place :( . later at night we got back to the room (courtyard cambridge) (edit: highly recommend this hotel if you have AAA. huge room, great facilities, 3 mins from school, $99 with AAA membership card) and watched some of the yankees game. the yankees decided to suck that night so we wound up turning off the game. i did some last minute prep for my interview, although i really didnt know if that would help all that much.

apparently something i ate that night (i think) didnt sit well in my stomach. i had a stomachache all night, and i hoped that i would be able to sleep it off. i woke up the next morning and it was just as bad. i tried to eat some breakfast thinking i was just hungry, but it just made it worse. luckily i still had some time and i went to a 7-11 and bought some pepto bismol 20 mins before the int. as advertised, it started working in under 15 mins. golden

i got to the interview place and there were 2 other guys there, one who had the same time slot as me, and the other who had his 30 mins after. we made small talk until our interviewers came to get us from the waiting area.

the interview.... well, as has been posted various times on the forums - it's very custom tailored to your application. it was a very casual, stress - free interview that was led by the interviewer. the time really seemed to fly by, and i did my best to answer the specific question and not ramble on. off the top of my head, some of the questions:

- what have you been doing since you've applied?
- tell me about project X (i initiated this question somewhat, since it's a project that wasn't on my app)
- why did you choose your undergrad school?
- tell me about your last full time position; what was the company culture like?
- how would you have improved it if you were on management?
- tell me about an organization you think is successful. why are they successful? (this one caught me offguard somewhat)
- tell me about one that you think is not successful. why ?
- what positive thing would your coworkers say about you?
- what is a negative thing they would say?
- what unique aspect would you bring to the class?
- tell me about a difficult group you've worked with. how did you motivate them?
- anything else you want me to know about you?

the time literally flew by. it seemed like i was there for 5 mins when she told me we were out of time. i was pretty nervous at first, but i settled down after the first question. by no means was it a perfect interview. i think i had room to expand on some of my answers. however at the same time i came away glad that i didn't blank out on any question, and that i gave (IMO) decent answers. and now i wait.. if it's meant to happen, then it will. in the meantime im going to finish up my apps to my other schools so that i can have some options. good luck to everyone else interviewing in the next few weeks

guys--i was just going through my application for HBS, and I realized that I made a mistake. On the question where it asks for the number of months for work experience, I screwed up and wrote the number of months that I had worked upto application, forgetting to add 12 months to it (because they ask for it up time of matriculation). So instead of 36 months, I wrote 24 months.

How bad is this mistake? I got an interview, so I could clarify during the interview (which is tomorrow), but just wanted to hear your thoughts

I'd just let them know that you found the mistake. Its an honest mistake, and I'm not sure it will carry any weight. Good luck tomorrow and let us know how it goes.

i don't think HBS has any early action/ early admission process. they just have 3 separate, non-binding rounds.

New message from the HBS Admissions blog:

"Update on Round 1 Interviews
Date: November 06, 2009
I know I promised an update about interviews. They are in full swing on campus and elsewhere. We are still sending out interview invitations - maybe 50 or so more may go out before December 15 - plus waitlist invitations to some of those who have not received an interview invitation. In terms of "where" these interviews might be held, we anticipate they would likely take place on campus in Boston during December or via telephone.

We also want to share with you the list ( https://www.hbs.edu/mba/profiles/undergrad.html ) we just compiled of the undergraduate schools represented in the last three classes at HBS."

Kudos for admitting someone from a "lesser known" school with a 4.0 gpa and 780 gmat?

Now that's diversity. :P

LOL! I figured it is just HBS' way of telling me. Hey your college that doesn't have a CEEB code isnt the reason you didn't get in. YOU are!
