They said that there is a lunch every day during the interview week. I forget what time it was exactly, something like 11:30 or 12 I think. The lunch will be very casual I'm sure, just a way for the interviewees to connect and schmooze. The tour will probably follow the lunch, either at one or two o'clock. I've taken it before and would recommend it. Hope that helps.

I would guess there will also be someone who knows something about 2+2 admissions there explaining the process post-interview, what last year's 2+2ers are up to now, etc.

I'll be there on Monday, so I'm sure I'll see some of you there!

Hey I was wondering if some of you who got interviews could tell us what three accomplishments you wrote about in your essay. I didn't get an interview and am tweaking my essays to submit them for the regular application. Thanks!

Rejected: 760 GMAT, 3.72 GPA from Ivy.

Congrats to all those who received invites. For future applicants: don't be too surprised to learn that you haven't been invited to interview even if your profile seems to fit the HBS model. Onto the LSAT...

I know... I'm going to be so happy when I finally get into the interview room, just because the wait will be over.

How's everyone's prep going? I've got a huge list of questions that I've given to people and am practicing answering, but I feel like I'm still not prepared for the Harvard interview experience. It's different when you're talking to people you know...

There's no room number. Just show up to Dillon and you'll be given a packet of info and called for your interview from the waiting room. Good luck!

I'm not sure what time I'm going to arrive on Sunday, but likely before 5 or so. I'm staying in Harvard Square. What are you guys planning exactly?

I don't think we have real plans yet, just a general "we should meet up!" thing. I probably also won't be free before 4 or so, since I have some things to get done in the afternoon. We could grab coffee/some food?

Sure, we can share phone numbers so that whenever we want to meet, we can contact each other...
