I applied Round 2, still no word. I went to several HBS and admissions events the past couple of weeks so the wait is that much more grueling. I don't think adcomm knows I went to the events though, the registration was so informal. =/

I got dinged today. Oh well -- I knew it was a bit of a long shot. I'm glad they didn't keep me in suspense for another month and a half! Anyone else?

I got dinged but I mean I knew not applying via 2+2 would be a challenge. Ah well. Got an interview at Wharton though :)

If you got an interview in round 2 to any of the top schools you should check out this awesome interview guide I found!

It's made by current HBS students with their questions and analysis from their actual interviews, and it's only $35. Which compared to the application fee is totally worth it. It says that it is an HBS specific guide, but that's just because of the local info and campus map, etc. I think it can be an excellent prep for any tough interview.

Hope everyone is hearing good news!

If anyone wants info just send me a message!

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me the minimum work experience required for the HBS MBA program? I will be completing 3 years in July 2011 and I belong to the IT sector.

Also, please let me know the application fee for HBS.

Thanks!

I don't think there is a minimum work experience but typically it's at least 3 years. The application fee for HBS is around $250 I think.
