Yes, I agree that the game of anticipation is torturing. Good thing I have so much work from current internship, so I can divert my focus there.

15th July is tomorrow! :lol:

I wish they send in the invites tomorrow. There seems to be no update on their twitter account either.

Yes, this is true. I was basing my judgement on the fact that last year's invites came out around 9AM my time.

That's some in-depth research there!

haha, nah, I just looked at last year's forum and it was shortly after 9AM EST when people starting reporting that they had received interview invites :)

I assume (hope?) that when people start getting interview invites they post here. I think there's several profiles on here very conducive to gaining interviews so *hopefully* we'll know soon after they've gone out. But again, they had more apps to review this year, and are trying to do it in a shorter time frame. So... I'm just crossing my fingers, hoping for the best, and preparing for the worst.

Yes, I do hope people post here once they receive info about their interviews. I doubt if the marginal increase in the number of applications (200-odd-apps is marginal compared to the thousands of apps they review in their regular MBA program) should take up too much time.

:idea: I am also banking on HBS to update their twitter account once they send out the invites. :-)

Yeah but a two week turnaround is quick, no matter which way you slice it. With their thousands of applicants regularly, they don't offer even close to a 2 week notification. Last year may have been more possible (600 applicants), but this year, with 850, they may just be not moving as fast as they'd have liked.

Well, I was just browsing through the HBS site and now I cant find 15th July mentioned anywhere! And even by 5PM, Boston Time its past 15th July.

So, a few more days of wait :)

Yeah, the uprdate posted on 13th march says around 15th July. Though I remember seeing 15th July 5 PM Boston Time somwehere. Might be a figment of my eager imagination :)
