Response

A few days ago I finally received a response from HBS on my application to HBX CORe. The response was a bit cryptic at first. The mail only contained one line, “Your admissions decision for CORe is now available online”, and I had to log in to actually get the answer that I have been waiting for.

It was a nervous wait when I click the link and loged in to my HBX account. Then I could read the words… I was accepted! I was so excited (still am) that I read it over and over again. It was just a matter of complementing the application with some additional personal details, and then pay the program fee.

Now I am waiting for the 15th of April when the program is planned to start.

HBX Application

The application for the HBX CORe program is fairly straight forward. The applicant starts by creating a private user account. You are asked about your background and why you apply for the program. Two open ended questions are also stated where a well formulated and thought of response with a few hundred words are expected. The whole process does not take more than an hour where upon an standard mail is sent:

Thank you for submitting your application for CORe!

You will receive a decision in about 4 weeks. You will receive an e-mail to notify you when your decision is available to view.

Then the long wait and constant updating the inbox start…
