When Harvard gets turned down by applicants it accepts ( about 9.2\% of those who gain an offer), more often than not the applicants go west to Stanford, which accepts only 8.9\% of those who apply for admission.

What is the difference between GSB and Harvard Business School interviews?
GSB has a rolling interview invite window while HBS has the set interview release dates. The GSB interview is much more casual (I did mine at a Starbucks in khakis) with an alum while the HBS one is much more formal and standardized. Both were quite conversational and both interviewers were great to talk to.”
