Today’s the day! Harvard Business School will release Round 1 decisions at midday. According to a blog post two weeks ago from HBS Managing Director of MBA Admissions and Financial Aid Chad Losee, applicants will be able to access decision notifications via the Application Status page beginning at 12 p.m. ET.
We anticipate plenty of activity on Clear Admit’s MBA LiveWire as those decisions begin to roll in. It’s a great place to share your good news—or, conversely, to commiserate. We’re rooting for the former and hope to see lots of green!
We’ve also got an HBS Chat Room going, where dozens of applicants already have gathered to strategize about how best to survive the agonizing wait.
While we’d love to think that you will all receive the decision you’re hoping for, the reality is that a fair number of you will be “released” from consideration today. There’s no two ways about it—rejection sucks. But as Losee’s predecessor Dee Leopold frequently reminded applicants—and current students can attest—approximately 10 percent of each admitted class is made up of reapplicants. So, if at first you don’t succeed…try, try again!
