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.

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!

@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.

feedback to rejected candidates

by Comiskie » Fri Jul 24, 2009 10:13 pm
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?
