Not sure about Harvard, but a couple people on GC posted Stanford interviews last month. I am surprised that it's taking Harvard this long (assuming they have not sent interview invitations out).

Would you care to share which 2 you've heard from?

Yes, a resident but not a citizen

Sure: Research interests: Financial accounting GMAT Score: 720 Undergraduate education and GPA: Business; not really sure about GPA as it was on a percentage scale (82%+) Graduate studies: Currently in an MSc Finance program LORs: 3 in total; 1 from a highly published prof. in accounting (top journals), 1 from a decently published but experienced finance prof, and 1 from an up a quickly rising finance prof. (top journals) Industry Experience: 3 years in a Big 4 Accounting firm; holding a CA Research experience: None prior to the current MSc program TA experience: TA for undergraduate final year OB and accounting courses The interviews were quite extensive and I met interviewed at times jointly and at times independently with members of the adcom. I suppose they would ask different questions based on your background, but for me it was about why I wanted to pursue research instead of continuing in industry, which was by the grace of God going well for me. They were also interested in specific research areas but not specific research topics. They all are very genuine and care for the students. As far as I know, they have not necessarily finished extending offers, but not sure how many they will be offering.

Yeah I got the offer - ecstatic!

Crosseyed, congrats on the interviews! Any idea if MIT has sent out all interview requests? Also, has anyone heard from HBS, Booth or Rotman yet?
