As though you need any reminding, the admissions committees at Harvard Business School (HBS) and the Stanford Graduate School of Business this week will release their admissions decisions to hopeful round one applicants.

Last week, HBS Admissions Director Dee Leopold devoted a post on her blog to what applicants at that school should expect today as its admissions decisions go out. “Some time on Wednesday – most likely before noon – you will receive an email from HBS MBA Admissions indicating that your decision is available,” she wrote.

At Stanford GSB, round one notification day is tomorrow, January 22nd. As of the first week in January, Stanford had extended roughly 400 interview invitations to first round candidates and expected to invite an additional 150 to 200 applicants before notification day.

But even if you didn’t receive an invitation to interview, all hope is not lost. Stanford GSB Admissions Director Derrick Bolton says his office may also ask 50 to 100 applicants to join the waitlist tomorrow without having been interviewed and may interview those candidates later.

Elsewhere, things are heating up for round two applicants, as the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan and others begin to extend invitations to interview.

Wharton’s initial round two invitations go out tomorrow, January 22nd. According to a post on the Wharton MBA Admissions blog, the admissions committee will continue to release invitations on a daily basis until 5:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, February 19th. “Due to the nature and complexity associated with the admissions process there is no particular order in which invitations are released,” the blog explained. February 19th will also be the day that applicants who have been denied admission will be notified.

According to a Ross R2 thread on the BusinessWeek forums, round two invitations began going out to applicants to Ross last week and continue. No official word from the Ross Admissions Office has been provided regarding round two. Round one applicants who were waitlisted will have an opportunity to chat online tomorrow, January 22nd, with Admissions Director Soojin Kwon Koh about the waitlist process.
