Do people have a good sense of how their HBS interviews went? I interviewed the first week and think it went well but I’m reading accounts of others thinking they crushed their interviews just to get dinged

I was admitted in R1. I thought my interview was average. I didn’t totally bomb it but I didn’t think it was anything special.

Yup, think I felt similarly

Same I did my interview early Feb and have spent every single day after to think about HBS. I have asked for more work to make myself busy during the day but then I dream about HBS during night. For god’s sake this is going to last another month until the release day 😳

For sure Pal - knock on wood, tho knowing this is going to be one of the longest waits of our lives lol

I was also admitted in R1. Spent a long time stressing and thinking about the interview. I came out of it thinking I did really well, but than a few days later I thought I did badly- and kept switching back and forth lol.

I would say as long as you didn’t ‘fail’, you have a good shot (and it would more be dependent on your overall profile rather than interview performance). As a general tip I also wouldn’t think about it at all. Try to keep yourself busy, hang out with friends, the hard part is done

Hope to see you later this year! Keep us posted

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
