Harvard Business School (HBS) sent out roughly 800 interview invitations on Friday to round-two applicants and some waitlisted round-one applicants, according to HBS Admissions Director Dee Leopold.
Leopold shared this news in a post to her admissions director blog Friday morning, indicating that the invitations would be sent via email and would arrive before 5 p.m. EST. “We will make sure every invited candidate is contacted so don’t worry about missing our email,” she assured applicants.
The decision notification for HBS’s second round is still almost two months away – April 6th – and Leopold indicated that more interview invitations would follow in the weeks ahead. As to how many, she couldn’t provide specifics. “I don’t know for sure at this point – perhaps 50 or so,” she wrote.
As her team continues to review and re-review applications, they are also making some preliminary round-two waitlist decisions. So some applicants who don’t receive invitations to interview in this round still may be considered for spots on the waitlist. “I expect there will be approximately 100 round 2 candidates who will be invited to join the waitlist,” Leopold said.
