Research MBA Programs

i'll be at the charles hotel on sunday night. it seems to be one of if not the closest to hbs

I'll be at the Harvard Square hotel Sunday night -- its a bit cheaper than the Charles, if anyone's on the look out. Nothing fancy, but it's just a night.

yeah they're both on the edge of harvard square. we can see how many people will be around and figure something out

I got a room at Hyatt (right beside MIT). Its about a 20 min walk from HBS, but hotwire gave me a really good deal on that.
Edit: The walk is longer than I expected (its been a while since I've been to Boston). But I dont mind walking, so w/e

I'm in Boston all this summer, so anyone who'd like to meet up just give me a shoutout/message. =)

Also, a note from a friend who was admitted to 2+2 last year:

"The interview was very laid back and short (~30 minutes). They'll have your resume/essays in front of them so the questions they ask will probably be targeted towards a pretty specific aspect of your application. In addition, they also asked some very general questions about my interest in HBS and what motivated me to apply to the 2+2 program."

@phylori thanks for the extra info from your 2+2 friend. did he/she have any specific advice on what to make sure you prepare for or what he/she wished she'd known going in?

I'm interviewing Friday morning but am staying in Boston (Le Meridien in Cambridge) for the weekend to meet up with other people. If you guys want to get together, let me know!

same here, I'll be there Sunday, the 16th, so anyone wants to get together let me know...Also, anyone around NYC, who wanna meet up, let me know (its Restaurant Week)

@chocoqt - not really, I'm afraid - it seems that the interviews are highly personalized, so her main advice was to make sure we know our applications thoroughly, since that's where the hard questions (if any) will come from.

Redlightgreenlight: I'm at UBS for the summer. Luckily I finish a week before the interview week at HBS! Are you from the UK too?

Haven't given too much thought to hotels/ flights... I'll probably stay at the Charles.

So does everyone who has interviews the final weekend want to get together for a beat the gmat dinner on the 22nd?

also, is there anyone else on here from Canada? So far I seem to be the odd one out...

@Rivkid: I'm from Canada too, just interning in NY for the summer... Where in Canada are u from?

I'm from Hamilton, going to Queen's. You? Sounds like a nice summer job - where are you interning?

@Rivkid: just sent u a pm! I just saw ur profile as well (couldnt help but notice the coffee shop part - I used to work at a Tim Hortons)

On one of its e-mail announcements, HBS 2+2 stated, " Please note that while we are unable to provide individual feedback to candidates not invited to interview, general advice will be posted on the 2+2 Program link on the HBS website."

Well, I still cannot find the link to that section. Can anyone?

Um...I am planning to attend the hbs 2+2 luncheon and campus tour. Could anyone PLEASE tell me about them? Like, are they available everyday and what actually will happen? Thank you very much in advance.
