Had one interviewer and an observer. Interview was very fast-paced — there were maybe 20 questions that touched on every aspect of my work experience, 2 questions on my ECs that were very general, and 2 questions on my interests included on my resume. Observer did not ask questions, but verbally reacted throughout the interview, and I found myself recapping things the interviewer already knew from my app because I wanted the observer to have the context – in retrospect, I’m guessing this was a mistake. Even then, interview went by very quickly and was very conversational/friendly tone. No idea how I did so we’ll see come Dec 8.

Was waitlisted in round I and went to visit the school in February. Received interview invite 2 days after the visit, was interviewed early march, thought the interview went pretty well and now after almost 2 months, got the rejection. Sad but it is what it is.
It was between HBS and Columbia. After more research, It was apparent that the overall quality of the students at HBS is significantly higher (consistent with the brand). The Columbia admits wanted the job I already had when I was 22 lol. While the investing program was interesting, it’s overhyped. None of them are getting those jobs. The buy side is reserved for HBS. I would caution anyone on here who lives on the east coast to going anywhere other than HBS and maybe Wharton. I spoke to a lot of people and it seems almost like a negative on a resume going to a second tier school because that signals that you your arnt a 10/10. Just something to think about
