According to Harvard Business School Director of Admissions and Financial Aid, Dee Leopold, Harvard Business School plans to begin sending out interview invitations on Friday, February 12. Dee informed in her blog post that the invitation will be an email from HBS MBA Admissions. The office will be closed on Monday, February 15 for President's Day. On Tuesday, February 16, HBS online interview scheduler will go live. Detailed instructions will be in the invitation email.
Dee informed that HBS plans to interview around 800 candidates in Round 2, including some Round 1 candidates on the waitlist who have not yet been interviewed. "Most, but not all, of these invitations will go out on February 12 so that all invitees have equal access to locations and dates. As always, we will continue to send some invitations up to and including April 6, the notification date for Round 2", added Dee.
She further clarified that interviews are by invitation only and school does not accommodates requests for interviews from candidates who are visiting campus.
