Nope, i have no idea other than that they called it their "short list." And re: HBS, you're right that this year could just be weird. I only wonder about not taking students because in years past I think marketing applicants would have already had their initial screening interview with the doctoral office by now. How did your Berkeley interview go?
Hi everyone! I'm a marketing (CB) applicant and I applied to 11 programs. Have been watching results for a few days so figured I'd contribute here! I've only heard back from one school so far (interviewed with Berkeley this weekend). @IWannaBeAPhD, I applied to HBS marketing and also haven't heard anything yet. I'm wondering if they're not taking students this year, but interested to see what happens! Good luck everyone!
