Interview invites for Round 1 start going out Friday! Get ready using the unofficial HBS Interview Guide. Real interview questions from last years interviews. Real HBS students giving advice on what they would have could have done better.

Get the Unofficial HBS Interview Guide for only $35.00! Created by HBS Students for future HBS students.

https://tiny.cc/HBSInterview

Reviews from admitted HBS students who purchased the guide last year:

"The guide was very useful and practical. Thanks for the great tips!"

"Very good. I was prepared for 80% of the questions. The remainder was mostly specific to my application."

"The HBS interview is very different from other schools in that it goes into extreme depth on the applicant's background, career, and most importantly, choices. My interview spanned my whole adult life in about 10 minutes. Because of the guide I was prepared for this line of questioning, and fully prepared to explain and defend the major choices I have made in life."

Updated. I'm surprised there hasn't been much activity in the HBS thread. Any status updates?

Good luck to all those who applied Early Decision... 12pm 12/14 is when they send the emails out correct?
