200+ interviews for 830 applications.. mmm... just makes me feel a tad more confident.

To think of it, our fates would already have been decided by now by HBS. They might be readying the supplementary materials to despatch.

I even thought once if it is possible that HBS saw this forum and realised that applicants are jittery and sent that email to calm our nerves.. ha ha.

It's probably pretty likely actually.

Given the semi-self-selecting applicant pool, I feel like 200+ still isn't *great* odds even if there are only 830 applicants. Incidentally, I thought that number was more like 850?

Have you guys looked at the twitter / fb groups for 2+2? It's interesting to see the gender / college / major breakdowns.......

Ahh, I'm so anxious for next week!!

I did check out on Facebook, but there is no such information. Can you provide us the link?

Guys I am having sleepless nights!!

By the way the Journey till now has been really exciting for me.In a time when my peers are busy launching their careers in Engineering ,for me this program has given me a whole new idea to pursue business as profession. I never seriously thought of getting an MBA degree so early in my career and now I think, getting an MBA degree is quiet feasible.

The entire application process was a kind of self-discovery for me. There are so many great profiles and I am sure many of us will definitely land up in HBS.

Best of Luck to everybody.

Ditto with the Engineering comment. I think now even if I don't get into 2+2 I'm going to look at getting an MBA down the road. It has just opened up so many new ideas for careers, etc.

So nervous for tomorrow!
You'll never know if you don't try

Guys,

It will really be appreciated if anyone who gets the invitation notifies this forum so that people who do not know dont have to wait further in agony!

Good luck to all tomorrow (hopefully!!)

Anyway, GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK!!!!
