我的申请状态还没有变completed呢
I don't think so. I think they may release invitations at any time.
None of us have it as for now so don't worry. I got a sense from BW that HBS adcom started sending invites to INdians over the weekend. Maybe we are next. Maybe they know Chinese new year is this week so they want us to have it for the holiday...

By "Chinese national", are you referring to both Chinese in China and in America?
By "Chinese national", are you referring to both Chinese in China and in America? Has anyone in America received invites yet? Are you in the US?
This whole waiting thing is really grueling. Although I was very confident with my profile and believed in my fit with HBS, the long I wait, the more I start to second-guess myself.
Yes, I do mean Chinese in both mainland China and overseas (U.S.); I mean applicants holding chinese passports. I haven't seen any individual in this category report an interview invite...I have the same feeling as yours...but this fact does make me feel a little better.
I think your theory about chinese nationals might be right in the HBS case. I know you have an extremely competitive profile, so no worries!
I think your theory about chinese nationals might be right in the HBS case. I know you have an extremely competitive profile, so no worries! Let's wait together. If we are both lucky enough to get invites, maybe when you receive your invite, I will get mine, and vice versa.
I start to understand how this application thing is all about luck. No matter how competitve you are, if you hit the wrong year or even the wrong round, you might not get what you deserve.
also, i think I am crazy. Since HBS gives no feedback as to whether your application is received or complete, I can't stop thinking that they lost my application or misplaced it... haha
First of all, congrats on your Wharton invite! I am so flattered by your compliment. I would modestly and honestly say that my profile is solid but not sure I would call it "extremely competitive". After seeing all the profiles posted here and on BW, I think mine is prob in the middle bucket. So I do need luck. It all depends on my competition (all the Chinese applicants pool).
I cannot stop thinking that I must have accidentally deleted my invite email...anyway, keep my fingers tightly crossed. Cannot get damn off work for the new year - sucks!
well, from BW, two consultants of Mck in HK recieved HBS invites on 25th. and one guy there said the Asian slots for interview is almost filled.

i dont think your competition is precisely the entire chinese applicants pool. I honestly think it'd more be young chinese women in america or europe or elsewhere overseas. Or maybe young asian women (foreign passport holders, h1 status) in america (including koreans and japanese). It'd be unjust to compare you with a 30 years old chinese guy who has worked 7 years. That is not a apples to apples comparison.
well, just my two cents.
Recieved my invite today right before I headed to lunch! Cannot believe it's finally here. Best of all to all my fellow friends here.
Finally... It seems most Chinese applicants will get invitations in the next two weeks, if there will be one... I guess...
Good luck everyone~~
Although rumor goes, and at least one guy in China did receive invitation in Jan, I believe now it's just the beginning for HBS to review Chinese applications as a whole.
So have faith in yourself. Nobody would apply to HBS if he thought himself just so-so, so I'm pretty much sure you are very competent and certainly stand a reasonable chance.
Good luck~~
Spots are also released in batch. I think it only means that for the Mainland the day is yet to come.
Thank you for the information, and good luck with your interview!
congs!! Good luck~~ Can we ask when did u submit your application?
I asked the same question to the admissions office. The answer is that your online status will remain "submitted" until decision date 3/26.
congs!! Good luck~~ Can we ask when did u submit your application?
Thank you. Submitted on 1/2.
I just confirmed with one of my friend in SH that he got the invite right before the Chinese New Year.

急啥~~
应该这么想，2月14号接到邀请，岂不是很浪漫？
嗯，要是这天来，我估计我就不会考虑别的学校了~~~
你有没有揪过花瓣？就是那种，“他爱我，他不爱我，他爱我，，，”那种？
我没揪过，不过我听说恋爱中最心跳的感觉就是这种期待
一开始可能慌乱、不安、焦躁，但然后就是甜蜜，最后是一辈子的美好回忆
我想申请也是一样吧~~
而且，申请不像恋爱，同时追的可以不只一个，所以（甜蜜+惊喜）* N
不享受享受太对不起生活了~~

要好好学习bird的心态~
恩，所以要普遍撒网，重点培养阿，还好申请也有不像恋爱的地方，因为恋爱往往你只看的上一个人，申请的话，你可以fine with几个人

是呀是呀，，，不要因为多报几所学校就感觉自己不忠成了，，，HBS 一下看上八、九百人呢，，，- -|||
嗯，，，我当初是这么考虑的，要是我报 HBS, Anderson, Duke, MIT
合起来岂不就是 HBS ADMIT 了吗？~~~
后来写完MIT的就已经累死了，又报了个其他的，，，就没精力报A，D了，，，完美计划就落空了，，，- -|||
你可以把英文名字改成ad...啥啥的

情人节还没登陆美国呢~~~
不过我觉得15号更现实点，，，等到20号还没有的话，我就不等了~~
哦，忘了时差了......
不过也难说，，，一般我见的教授同志们，生活都不太和谐，情人节这天估计尤其臭脸
大概没这么好的兴致哄哄小孩子们玩，，，不趁机打击报复一下就不错了，，，- -|||
你有darden 的offer ：）
恩，我充分觉得hbs是逢周五发invites的，supporting points是目前看到所有收到的人的日子基本都在周五，估计周一到四都在读。
Finally, it's 2/15...
I've just got the feeling that, for me, it's today or never, although I'd wait until 2/20...
OK, alarm is set, bet is staked, towel for the touching moment, and a rope fixed on the ceiling...
All in position... Well, come on then, whatever it'd be... - -|||

That's not true. I got mine on Wed.
i see. then they are sending out on a rolling basis,haha. starbird, rope on the ceiling is not necessary la, but i will probably share the towel with you, heihei
恩，我充分觉得hbs是逢周五发invites的，supporting points是目前看到所有收到的人的日子基本都在周五，估计周一到四都在读。
我不知道他们具体怎么工作的，
但是如果我主导筛选，我会先把所有人分成pool，然后大pool 再分成小pool，直到每个sub-pool可以在一周内完成评价
具体评价的时候，有些非常优秀的，一眼就被看中的，大概是随时发邀请，，，有些完全没希望的，直接淘汰
剩下的，会暂时放在一边，等整个pool review 完之后，再作比较，最后决定要谁不要谁
分成一周或半周，是因为周末要放假，两天休息回来，已经记不得上星期那些applicants 谁是谁了
所以尽量在周五下班前解决掉，，，所以周五收到的会比较多
如果解决不了，可能要加班也不拖到下周，，，因为我听说有人周末也收到的邀请了
还有另一个因素，就是安排面试
前些天好多印度，南亚的收到邀请，之后就忽然沉寂了
我觉得是，他们大概想把东亚地区候选人名单大概都弄出来之后，根据不同地区人数安排面试旅程，比如在上海停几天，在东京停几天，在首尔停几天
之后，再开slot 发面试通知
因为我感觉东亚比南亚面试地点相对难安排，，，不过到了2/15，也应该差不多了吧，，，

8 GUA... I smell "fei wen"... 
kidding...

It was said that they would send out most invitations by mid-Feb... so, I guess lots of people will share towels tonight...
Honestly, I felt totally pissed off today...
I've already on 苦丁茶, and unfortunately put WAY too much in the cup.
Now the water looks like ditch and tastes like ink... - -|||

My two cents:
Add in some milk and sugar
I've prepared my Peanuts comics to comfort my heart.

Actually... I'd perfer to throw it away and make a new cup... - -|||
This way, I will get a cup of tea, a cup of milk, and sugar, rather than some sort of sophisticated ditch water... - -|||
So you also like Peanuts? Emmm, it's a good idea, although I can only come up with some peanut chocolate to comfort my stomach.
Who has the home numbers of those Ad Com... I really want to give them a morning call right now...- -|||

you have so sophisticated understanding about heroes... or should I say underwear...just read BW, some people got invites on V-day, one in NY and one in LA
so perhaps HBS is not into cross-culture relationships.
Emmm, sounds like a little thunder before the big storm...
I bet the concept of Valentine's to professors is all about the noise they hear now from next door,
and come up like, "Ohhhhh, damn, it's Valentine's again..."
just read BW, some people got invites on V-day, one in NY and one in LA
Well, talking about BW, they are discussing about a girl who took GMAT 10 times and only scored 590 and got in and for the reason of her tenacity!!!
God, it really gave me a good laugh.
Tomorrow perhaps I will post there that I also got a interview and I'm Osama bin Laden... just to see if they'll still take it seriously.
However, I'm wondering why HBS does not follow the same procedure in R2 as in R1?
They updated the blog on 11/07 last year to explain that they would slow down sending out invitations for they had begun conducting interviews from 11/05. Whereas for R2, they give interviews at the same time as they review the packages from the very beginning.
It's obvious that there are more applicants than in R1. It seems that time does not actually matter and they can well manage it after all... - -|||
Me neither 
hi everyone, fully understand the painful waiting process,especially for our dream schools.
Just two cents on how to use the time
1) prepare for the interviews that you have and try to get the offers; there's really no way that you can push for an interview that you don't have for now
2) even though you don't have HBS interview sofar and you have pretty strong confidence that you will get it, since you have known the interview date, I strongly recommend you start to prepare for the upcoming interview (even this may eventually not happen) as early as possible, i.e. collecting relevant information; practice your story; do mock interviews etc.
Hope it helps and all the best !

If you think about it, it would make sense. There is information sessions and extensive travels associated with those events during R1. There is also the Thanksgiving, Xmas and New Year's holidays. R2, on the other hand, has significantly fewer interferences.
楼上两位现在肯定是特感慨地看着我们偷笑，，，T_T，，，我也要感慨，我也要偷着笑，，，
嗯，，，有道理哦，，，老外不过农历年，，，让我给忘了，，，- -|||
目前为止啥都没，，，BW 上也没人跳出来，，，false alarm it seems...
Damn... It looks like I'm just losing a big bet... - -|||...
I'm just wondering if anyone has claimed where-so-ever that he or she, rather than some "friends", has got an invitation in Mainland so far?
对了，，，很好奇，下面这个人 R1 进去了没，，，好像一直没见到他说interview 或者acceptance 的事，，，
I will apply in round one as well. I work for the US Department of State and have been assigned to the US Embassies in Athens, Greece, Jakarta, Indonesia, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. From those posts, I have worked all over Southern and Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. I speak Indonesian. I am married, I have three children, and I am 28 years old. My wife and I own and operate two start-up companies, one socially responsible, the other more commercially motivated (but not irresponsible). I served on the board of a non-profit with 100+ employees for three years and was its president for one year. I am an outdoorsman and competitive triathlete. I took the GMAT a year ago and do not intend to retest.
另外很好奇，这个人怎么进去的（根据他自己报的），，，还是我理解错了，，，老实说，如果真是这样的话，HBS请我去，我都不去
So if you are preparing for your intervie:
-be extremely familiar with your application (call the person that wrote it and let them give you an executive summary).
-be relaxed (when you sign-in at Dillon ask for the complimentary deep tissue massage)
-be nice and humble. (talk about your experience during the class visit, how you thought the student were complete morons and how your inifinite wisdom will be necessary to guide them from the darkness of their ignorance)
-hand your interviewer a small 'appreciation' envelope on your way out, even adcom members get squeezed this time of the year, no need to be a Scrooge.
he must be joking....
这个人难道不是在恶搞？？You're welcome to spend your spare time answer some questions here and help out the new comers. Plenty of people looking for guidance with exams and application questions and lots of valuable resources lying around with no one to organize them.

"afterall it will be hbs's loss if i m dinged"
I like this attitude!!
You can answer questions on the board under any of the discussion areas, pull together informations that you find helpful, update the list of questions and answers for any of the important areas under http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=13&ID=173361&page=1 or create something that you wish were available when you were in the application process.
OK, perhaps it'd be HBS's best luck if they dinged me... unless they don't mind occasional blow-ups... - -|||
Hey, I'm not a bad person or something... It's just... this sort of things happen around me... - -|||
I'll wait till 2/20. So 3 days to go... and 100th floor to take~~~~ 
~~~~ Yeah me~~~
