HBS death notice for Waitlisters, what it looks like.
for all you HBS Waitlisters: this is what Death Notice looks like. Notice 1. no date, 2. two gals sign this one, sorta like have clergyman accompany messanger w. really bad news. If you recall that scene in Saving Private Ryan.
Dear Dinged Person :
By now you should have received, and probably viewed, our final decision on your application. While the outcome was likely not what you had been hoping for, we did want to take a moment and thank you for applying to our program and for the patience you have shown during your time on the waitlist.
We have tried our best to be as transparent as possible throughout the process; however, we also acknowledge that the uncertainty inherent in being on the waitlist is never easy, no matter how much information we provide. Your cooperation has been much appreciated.
It has been a pleasure getting to know you, Dinged Person , and we wish you the best in the coming year. Thank you for your interest in Harvard Business School.
Sincerely,
Eileen Chang & Dana Scalisi

Do you have the inside scoop on whether this letter was sent out this week?

that’s an email following up a written letter or a separate notification, so the person who sent it to you must have lopped off the header w/the date
