HBS round 2 interview invite D-day is Feb. 9th
BELOW IS TODAY’S ENTRY FROM HBS ADCOM BLOG ANNOUNCING THAT SECOND ROUND HBS INTERVIEW INVITES WILL START GOING OUT ON FEBRUARY 9TH.
WHILE IT IS UNCLEAR HOW MANY INVITES WILL BE SENT THAT DAY, IF THE PATTERN FOLLOWS ROUND ONE [SEE THAT BLOG ENTRY UNDER IT] THAT WOULD MEAN THAT A BIG CHUNK OF INVITES WILL GO OUT ON FEBRUARY 9TH, WITH SOME DRIBBLE AFTER THAT, AND A SMALL GROUP OF WL KIDS BEING NOTIFED OF WAIT LIST [WITHOUT INTERVIEW] ON DECISION DAY.

Round 2 Interview Invitations
Date: January 26, 2009
Greetings…
Here’s the plan:
On February 9 we will send out invitations to interview. The invitation will come in an email from HBS MBA Admissions and will contain detailed instuctions about how to sign up for interviews both on campus and in hub cities. Please be assured that if we see you haven’t signed up for an intervew by the end of the week, we will contact you by phone…thus there’s no reason to be anxious about lost emails, etc.
Shortly afterward, I’ll update you here as to how many invitations have been issued and how many we expect will go out between February 10 and the April 2 notification date.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED IN ROUND ONE THIS YEAR, AND FROM THE LOOKS OF IT, ABOVE WILL FOLLOW THAT PATTERN, ALTHO NUMBERS MAY BE FEWER
Round One Interview Invitations
Date: November 11, 2008
Today we sent out about 750 invitations to interview. I think we will ultimately send around 850 by the notification date, January 21.
I can’t predict when this additional 100 invitations will go out nor to whom. It is possible that candidates invited in the next few weeks will not have extensive options to interview in hub cities; we will make every effort to work with them to schedule an interview which is convenient.
The Admissions Board continues to review written applications and discuss cases until the January notification date.
I also anticipate that around 100 Round One candidates who have not been interviewed will be invited to accept a place on the wait list in January. As their cases are further considered, they may be invited to interview.
We are trying to be as transparent as possible about this anxiety-producing process. I hope I am clear in my continued message that this is a “selection” process designed to bring a talented and diverse mix of students into the classroom. There are no hard and fast rules and there are many more qualified candidates than we have capacity to admit.
