BELOW IS THE MARCH HBS WL CHANG-O-GRAM. SMALL NEWS IS

THEY MAY SEND OUT SOME ACCEPTS ON APRIL 2ND AND WILL NOT DING ANYONE THAT DATE, SO THEY PLAN TO CARRY WHOLE WL FORWARD AND START CUTTING IT DOWN THE ROAD, AS ROUND 2 YIELD CLARIFIES, AND THE MEANING OF DEAN LIGHT’S ‘SLIGHT’ INCREASE IN CLASS SIZE ALSO CLARIFIES.

Hello Everyone:
It’s Eileen Chang from the MBA Admissions Board at HBS. As it is the beginning of the month, I’d like to provide you with another process update.
We are in the midst of Round 2 evaluation and are currently interviewing Round 2 candidates. We extended interview invitations to some of you who weren’t interviewed in Round 1, and will be extending interview invitations up until the Round 2 notification date of April 2.
There may be some movement on the waitlist on the April 2 notification date. If we are able to make a decision on your application at that time, we will contact you via email on that date. If we aren’t ready to make a decision on your application, we will continue to hold your application on our waitlist. We understand it can be difficult to wait, and we will do our best to make a decision on your application as soon as we are able.
Since my last email, we have received letters of support on behalf of a number of you. While these letters are not actively discouraged, we do want you to be aware that they are not a critical part of our selection process. Please do not feel as though you need to make extra effort to solicit additional support. We prefer to keep our selection based primarily on the application materials in order to avoid waitlist “campaigning” or giving unfair advantage to those who may know members of the HBS community.
You may be making plans for the summer which will change the way you want us to reach you. If the contact information that we have on file changes, simply update your contact information through the ApplyYourself system or send my colleague Dana Scalisi an email with the new information.
Thank you for your continued patience.
Sincerely,
Eileen Chang
