INTERVIEWS IN NINE CITIES BESIDES THE BOSTON CAMPUS
Some round one candidates, he added in a blog post, will receive a ‘further consider’ decision which will push those applicants into round two.
In addition to on-campus interviews, HBS said it also would conduct interviews in Shanghai, Tokyo, Dubai, Mumbai, São Paulo, New York City, Palo Alto, London, and Paris. “Where you interview does not affect your likelihood to be accepted (all interviews globally are conducted only by members of the Admissions Board), but if you come to Boston to interview, you’ll also have the chance to sit in on a class and interact with current students and faculty,” wrote Losee. “Candidates who are not able to travel may be accommodated via Skype.”
