HBS interview (And Stanford)

HBS interview went well. Everyone was very friendly (staff, interviewer, fellow invites, students). I can't really give any non-redundant advice except that even though they've read your essays, they still may ask you Why MBA, Why HBS, etc. As for the rest of the quetions I was prepared for all of them. There are great lists of Accepted.com and on B/W forum.

Got the Stanford invite with some real big banking hot-shot. Hopefully he doesn't bat me around like a little rabbit. We'll see

Good and Bad

Well the good/bad news is a single piece of news. I got an interview invite at Harvard today. So now I have to do my interview prep again, psych myself up again, and nail another interview.

If I get into Harvard then I don't have to make the tough decision between Wharton and Sloan. If I don't get into Harvard, then I'll feel regret for the rest of my life for potentially screwing up the interview. I think that a Harvard invite means a 2/3 chance of getting an acceptance over the "usual" 50/50 of other schools.

I'm not even sure how much more my life will be different if I go to HBS. HBS is great. I will learn, grow and meet amazing people. I know getting into Wharton and Sloan is great, and that lots of people would like to be in my place, but somewhere deep down I'll feel bad if I don't make it into HBS.


ps-- Stanford, you're my dark horse. You with your crazy, wtf, "What matters to me and why essay". Maybe I f-ed it up, maybe that's why you haven't written yet. Or maybe you're busy getting my essay framed?

Sloan loves me

I got a call and email from Sloan. I think I am really blesse to have gotten into 3 great schools (Sloan, Wharton and Haas). It makes me want Harvard and Stanford even more now, but the other 3 schools are great and I shouldn't be greedy. Good luck to everyone out there.
