After a morning of errands, I went up the elevator and down the stairs, into my new dorm room. I opened my laptop, checked my email.
There, a letter—from Harvard Business School. After months of hoping, I was admitted today into the first cohort of HBS 2+2.
It is rare for me to make an announcement here like this. But the internet has played a surprisingly important role in this whole process for me. And so as I was sitting, still shaking from the news, wondering who else I could tell, this nebulous space seemed necessary.
Thank you, everyone. Your support and hope made this impossible thing seem possible in the first place. I am stunned and elated that the impossible came true.

Congrats on getting in, Diana! I created a Facebook group for everyone who was accepted to start getting to know each other called "Harvard Business School Class of 2013 (2+2 Program)"

congratulations congratulations!
do you know how many they decided to accept? regardless, i'm sure you'll be among the best of the best! :)
Congratulations Diana! I think Saturday's Bon Voyage Celebration might have to morph into a combine Bday and Congratulatory event! At least, I will have a drink or two in your honor! (any excuse, right?)
Thank you so much for the congratulations, everyone! My head is still spinning. TCU—I *think* we should be connected on Facebook now, I tried to friend both 2+2 Chrises. :) Nami, thank you for the kind words! They accepted 106 this year—about half engineering/science students, half liberal arts. Lara: any excuse is right. Can't wait!

Hi, and congratulations Diana! I was also running a search on the 2+2 Program information when your blog popped up, and I was interested in asking you a few questions? I know this posting is a bit old, but if you do happen to have a few minutes, I would love to hear back from you (I could not send this via email for some reason). Hope you're doing well this semester!

belated "congrats" & belated "you're awesome", Diana. [:
Hi Diana,
Great job getting in, though it is a bit late for kudos. I was wondering if you might be interested in giving me some advice, though I can see no reason for you to do so besides helping a stranger out. I'm a current junior at Georgia Tech, and getting into this program has sort of consumed my life for the past 2 months. The short of it is, I'm looking for advice and your name popped up on Google, :). You can contact me on param16k5@gmail.com
Thanks in advance.
