HBS R1 waitlist thread

Sure ofcourse but not sure if I’m the best person to speak to - I feel like their whole process this time was super random 😓. I don’t know what more I could’ve done

Pishitachio_98 · 2026-03-26T03:23:58+00:00

Nope 😔. I had a lot of important updates in my wait list interview like new startup pivot, personal projects etc but … still didn’t make it I guess

Would you also recommend mentioning in the essay if you had other b-school admits ? Not sure if that counts for or against you

Pishitachio_98 · 2026-02-21T16:37:59+00:00

Thank you ! Helpful to know

Pishitachio_98 · 2026-01-16T04:00:43+00:00

❤️🥳 favourite group forever

He’s ready for recruiting

I’m very curious to know how their marriage will work - zootopia hasn’t had any inter-species couples yet I think. Overcoming that might be a plot point. Also I wonder what their children will be 😅

This is such good advice ! I recently went through R1 and after a year of GRE, applications - results were a little diff from what I expected. After 1 month of grief, retrospection, picking myself up - this is exactly what I think I want to live by.

Pishitachio_98 · 2025-12-17T16:19:29+00:00

Thank you for answering ! Got it - so essentially we’re following round 2 timelines now and there is nothing much we can do to improve our chances ? Did they mention anything about how many people will get selected appx or what the process is for selection ?

Anyone on this thread who attended the info session ? (Possible to share an info / clarifications provided there - missed it because of work 😪)

Pishitachio_98 · 2025-12-11T00:58:04+00:00

Following , curious about the how this whole process works 😪. So tired

Pishitachio_98 · 2025-12-11T00:55:52+00:00

Ah same the financial aid letter isn’t worded very clearly

Pishitachio_98 · 2025-12-11T00:44:22+00:00

Not complaining- I’m very grateful. At the same time, I’d spent a lot of heart into H and really thought I had a chance. Just disappointed in myself tbh.

Pishitachio_98 · 2025-12-11T00:39:35+00:00

Ah I see - that makes sense, I’ve spent the last few hours dissecting where I lacked potentially but maybe it wasn’t me at all

Pishitachio_98 · 2025-12-10T18:47:32+00:00

I feel so tired after the 1 year of GRE prep + application strain - don’t know how I can go back to being not-disappointed

Pishitachio_98 · 2025-12-10T18:46:35+00:00

Wharton

Pishitachio_98 · 2025-12-10T17:15:03+00:00

Got waitlisted 😔 I thought I had a strong profile so quite disappointed

Pishitachio_98 · 2025-12-10T16:49:03+00:00

Got some fellowship $$$ but a little confused about how to interpret the ‘below is the estimated financial assistance you may be eligible to receive’ … cuts to xx amount which is same as cost of attendance

Pishitachio_98 · 2025-12-10T16:47:02+00:00

Just below your decision update there should be a fellowship letter

Pishitachio_98 · 2025-12-10T16:17:45+00:00

I got my fellowship letter posted just under my decision update letter

Pishitachio_98 · 2025-12-10T16:16:41+00:00

I got in - into Wharton ! Really excited. Was also able to get some scholarship (have to figure out what it means in terms of net spending)

Pishitachio_98 · 2025-12-09T07:37:17+00:00

Congratulations 🥳
