Hello.
I was curious if the HBS 2+2 program would affect the number of total admits for Class of 2012 (or 2013?) . HBS has just announced that it has accepted approximately 100 college seniors for its 2+2 program.

Since HBS typically accepts about 900 each year, I was wondering whether HBS would increase the overall class size to 1000+ after accepting these college seniors.

Does anyone know how the HBS 2+2 program would affect the total class size?

Apparently, as stated by Dee Leopold during interview day, the class size will not change. Instead, about 10% of the class will consist of 2+2 students.

All the Best,
