But at least we got a "special" ding letter thanking us for interviewing!

I'd like the $500 I spent on airfare and hotel back, please ;)

Seriously though, what's meant to be will be...

haha, i agree! The stats here look far worse than 60%. Although, you know what they said in the rejection letter "we're sure you'll succeed". Damn right I will!

Y'all, I am confused. My status updated online, and I can read the acceptance letter. But I never received an email saying my status had been changed. Did everyone else get an email?

Same here. Also, no notes that I could find anywhere about admit weekend.

Hey guys,

I thought I would share something that definitely touched a chord. It's applicable across, but I know this is definitely one of the first schools displaying results:

In fact, in many cases, those who've experienced more rejection are the successful in today's world. Life today is a numbers game. You get ahead by exploring all sorts of different opportunities.

Generally, the more you explore, the more likely you are to hit on something successful. But it's rare that an opportunity comes with no chance of rejection attached. Often, the best opportunities carry a high chance of being turned down.

For example, someone who applies for as many jobs as they can out of school is more likely to be successful than someone who applies for only one. The first person will almost certainly experience a lot of rejection, but they need only one acceptance to start working. The second person has only one chance of rejection, but also only one chance for success. In job-hunting, rejection carries virtually no cost past the emotional one, while success brings a lot of benefits.

What's true in job-hunting is also true in many other arenas - dating, business, sales, friendships. Paradoxically, those who experience more rejection are also those most likely to find success, as they explore the most opportunities.

It helps to take a philosophical approach. One way to view a rejection is as a path to success. As you explore each bad option, you become closer to hitting a good one.
Another way is to view rejection as a learning experience. Even if you don't get what you were after, you still get something out of the encounter - tolerance. You're toughening yourself up against rejection, so you won't let the fear of it hold you back.

Official website says this:

Round 1 Notification Day
Date: December 15, 2009

Decisions are now available online...the email notification is a bit delayed due to ApplyYourself issues. However, you can view your decision by logging in to your application.

Congrats to all that got in!

If you were R1 dinged with an interview, is it possible to be picked up for R2 or R3 or is the HBS book closed if you dinged with interview but without waitlist?

Thanks for the info! I still haven't gotten the email but guess I won't worry about that. I haven't heard from Dee, either...Does everyone get a call? Looking forward to admit weekend.

Thanks for this sharstarz, this is true for school apps as is for life. I got dinged today with interview but this is only my first bschool app. Many more schools to apply to and job opportunities; excited for all that awaits.

I was fully prepared for a ding and this opened things back up a little bit. Truthfully, I don't know how to react.

It's tough to really know what it means since this is the first year where round 1 decisions happened before round 2 deadline.. so there's no precedent to compare to. but it's definitely better than a ding!
