econ21 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Does anyone know if all of the interviews for Harvard Business Economics are out, or if they are sending them through the next few days? Seems like there is one on GradCafe already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEconGuy10 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Apparently MIT started to send results out today... considering that (and UMich), should we expect results earlier this year? Anyone has any inside info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basco Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 EJMR trolls are trolling on gradcafe. There was a post earlier on EJMR about some guy doing exactly this. Do not believe the UMich and MIT results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not believe the UMich and MIT results. It is possible that MIT results are not legit, but I know a person who received the letter from UMich.

therealslimkt Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Aw jeez HBS Business Econ too? If you don't get an interview there it's an IR, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
econ21 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I think it would be an IR, but honestly I can't tell if the GradCafe post was real or not with all of the EJMR trolls floating around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipoca Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Looks like Warwick is sending early results too, at least according to gradcafe. My guess is that some universities are making a first round of results for the applicants who applied first (or, in some cases, who sent their GREs), and that they will send the results for the rest of the applicants in a month or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be better to stop checking GC till Feb second week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capucapu1 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Now Princeton, Chicago, and UCLA... Someone told that one of his/her pre-doc got admission offer from Chicago (Gradcafe is insane this year )... Who knows.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zshfryoh1 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I suspect a lot of the econ stuff on GC right now is EJMR trolls. In fact, I know that a number of graduate programs still do not know how many funded slots are available this year, and might not know until late February. Â We have a lot of data (both here and on GC) from past cycles on when various programs tend to send out their offers and while every so often a school changes their pattern, it is extremely unlikely that 5 top 15's are all simultaneously sending out offers extremely early.

eggnogone Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Harvard BusEc interviews are out!! I just received one a few hours ago so can at least confirm those dated Jan. 19th are real. Â For reference, I was rejected at Stanford last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggnogone Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I posted on GC but for anyone else with an HBS interview, does anyone know what the probability of getting in is, conditional on getting an interview? Or does HBS interview way more people than they know they can admit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger gold Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Did someone say in GC that they got an offer from Tinbergen? I see a series of posts and its confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftrob95 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Hi guys, I just checked my Ohio State applicant portal, and I was accepted. No email or anything like that. Might be worth checking if you applied there. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealslimkt Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Did anyone have an idea of how many people are invited to interview at HBS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealslimkt Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 My friend at HBS said that the interviews are quite staggered so not getting an interview yet doesn't mean you won't in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonFarmer Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 My friend at HBS said that the interviews are quite staggered so not getting an interview yet doesn't mean you won't in the future But I am afraid the reality is that most who are expected to be interviewed have received their invitations :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonFarmer Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 ~50% .... I posted on GC but for anyone else with an HBS interview, does anyone know what the probability of getting in is, conditional on getting an interview?

blackfootedpig Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I think I saw this number somewhere too, but do you know what it is based on? My limited understanding is that for pure Business PhDs the % accept after getting an interview can range as low as 20% and as high as essentially a sure admit depending on the business school. ~50% ....

therealslimkt Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 But I am afraid the reality is that most who are expected to be interviewed have received their invitations :-(Â I did some rough math based on the Stanford posts. There were 9 posts on GC about Stanford acceptances, which if we assume 30 people got Stanford acceptances means that 30% of admits were wired into GC. Â If you assume the same number is true for HBS interviewed candidates, that suggests that HBS interviews simply can't be all in. Only 6 people have posted about an HBS interview, and unless nearly every interviewee is admitted that doesn't line up with the number of acceptances. Â You can question some of the assumptions I'm making but I think the intuition that there are too few HBS interview posts to be the full picture seems right. SO i'm still holding out hope xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonFarmer Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Let's wait a few more days and see. I believe all of them should be out this week. I did some rough math based on the Stanford posts.

anon02139 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I saw the number on GC. I have limited knowledge about HBS since it is on the other side of the river. All HBS interviews went out last/this week. Source: am also Cambridge insider with friends across the river  folks, HBS bus-ec admits the top admits to Harvard Econ. Even conditional on getting an offer from Harvard Econ, it’s more than likely to not get an interview from HBS. There is roughly no information in not getting an interview from HBS.
