Hello Everyone:

This is Eileen Chang from the MBA Admissions Board. As it is the beginning of February, I wanted to touch base and provide you with a waitlist update.

A number of you have asked if there is anything that you need to do during this waiting time. For our process, the answer is no. We have a preference to keep our evaluation based on your submitted application materials so that every candidate is evaluated equally. Additional materials or letters of support are not necessary. The best thing to do is to wait patiently and know that the waitlist is a priority for us and that we will contact you if we need to.

In our admissions cycle, we are currently reviewing applications from our Round 2 candidates and will extend Round 2 interview invitations soon. We do not anticipate making decisions on our waitlist candidates this month, but will make every effort to come to a decision on your application as soon as we can. We understand that it can be very difficult to wait, and realize that you may need to make plans before receiving a final decision on your HBS application. If at any time you decide to withdraw from our waitlist, please do so by emailing Dana atdana_scalisi@hbs.edu.

Finally, it is important to keep your contact information updated via the ApplyYourself system so that we can reach you if needed.

Thank you for accepting a place on our waitlist, and we appreciate your cooperation and patience with our process.

Sincerely,

Eileen Chang
