I did have a quick question about HBS. I have applied R2 and a very good friend of mine who is a current student, wanted to drop a note in for me, however on the Director\'s BLOG hbs posts up they mentioned that they are \"discouraging any informal input by HBS students this year\", however when my friend called in anonymously and asked if it would hurt, they said it would not hurt my chances and that they may or may not read it.... what do you think I should do in this case, follow the Director\'s blog? or was that just her 2cents so they don\'t get bombarded by notes..... Thanks Hi Sandy,

In fact, most offers stem from summer internships, where offers are made after only one term of grades.

People who graduated before 2004 are more likely to be established in their chosen field and either have an MBA or no interest in an MBA. I would wait for numbers on how many people applied in each age group before making any determination on age bias.
