| Harvard Business School (HBS) Director of Admissions and Financial Aid Deirdre Leopold shared that early April will hold something for applicants in each of the school’s three rounds.
Round one applicants who were waitlisted could finally get the news they have been hoping for, according to Leopold. “We will be extending offers of admission to about 40 round one waitlisters shortly after April 2nd,” she said. HBS will continue to maintain its waitlist, and those who remain on it should expect an update in early April from Eileen Chang.
Meanwhile, April 2nd is a big day for round two applicants as well. It’s when all the notifications for that round go out, Leopold continued. Decisions will be released online, and applicants will receive an email instructing them to check their status. Until then, there’s no need to sit anxiously by the phone, Leopold continued. “We won’t be making any congratulatory phone calls in advance of April 2nd!”
Not to leave anyone out, Leopold also shared some news for round three applicants. Many – but not all – interview invitations for this round will be extended on April 3rd. |
