Congrats MBAGirl!!

Sandy: What's the 2+2 expansion gonna do to junior applicants? You think the ratio for junior-senior chunks will skew? Any other insights? 2+2 applicant junior here.

Anyone receive interview invites today? It gets more depressing with each passing day .... probably just a few more slots left.

Also, does anyone know the overall count of the total interview slots?

Hope is a good thing. Don't let the hope die in you. I know easier said than done but guess there is not other alternative also...

Please do not give up hope! I was right there with you and feeling the same way, then I got one of the trickle invites. There's still a week left, and tons of apps for HBS to review. Stay positive!!

Is it me or I find it very difficult to believe that the admin people are still reviewing files...In my opinion they have reviewed all the files and the remaining invites might be for those for which they had doubts so several people needed to review the files... what do you think?

There are probably only a handful more interview invites for HBS at this point. Sandy from the BW forum estimated there were only about 25-75 more invites left on Tuesday. Based on the number of people who reported invites yesterday on GC, I'm guessing all slots are now filled. Someone even reported the CA slots were all gone. Game over!!!

Ok guys-- my thought of optimism for all those who are waiting---> We will succeed with or without Harvard! Harvard is a mean of getting us there, and granted that a lot of successful people went to Harvard, but at the end of the day, it is not Harvard, but YOU who will have to create that PATH for yourself to be successful. Of course, most importantly it is YOU after all who is to create your own definition of SUCCESS!

Wishing you all the best !!!! Cheer up! Harvard or for that matter, any other school needs people who will make things happen for themselves, create avenues, and opportunities for themselves and those around them!!!!!

Hello everyone.

I am yet another stressed person waiting for the interview invitation to arrive. My productivity at work has consistently decreased ever since Feb 4th and my transit at this forum has multiplied tenfold to read the feel good stories and keep my hopes up. Hopefully today it will happen for many of us!

For general knowledge, I am a Latin American Applicant, currently living in Africa and would be almost 30 at the time of matriculation.

Best of lucks to those who are still waiting!

I definitely think the remaining invites are for the questionable and non-traditional HBS candidates. I'm thinking lower GMAT, older, non-IB/MC. I saw some later folks who were invited with 680/690 GMAT scores and older applicants (29 yo+), so although these folks have a good chance once they get the interview, HBS is probably trying to figure out how to round out the class. I believe there is still hope for the non-traditional folks, but not for others.
