You\u2019re applying to Harvard Business School. We can see \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 your resume, school transcripts, extra-curricular activities, awards, \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 post-MBA career goals, test scores and what your recommenders have to say \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 about you. What else would you like us to know as we consider your candidacy?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThere is no word limit for this question. We think you know what guidance we’re going to give here. Don’t overthink,overcraft and overwrite. Just answer the question in clear language that those of us who don’t know your world can understand. <\/i><\/p>\n
In the words of Director of Admissions, Dee Leopold, there\u2019s \u201cneither a \u2018right answer\u2019 nor a \u2018correct length\u2019 in mind\u201d. \u00a0Just write what you believe is essential for the adcom to know about you and has not been said already in the rest of the application.<\/p>\n
Further, Ms. Leopold has mentioned on her blog, that \u201cit\u2019s not an essay-writing contest. There is always \u2013and will always be – great variance in both subject matter and degree of polish in the essays of admitted candidates. Maybe there will be admits this year who say we don\u2019t need to know anything else beyond the credentials they have already submitted \u2013 for them, the application may be \u201cessay-less\u201d. I also think that removing the word limit brings this process closer to the way things work in the Real World which is always our goal\u201d.<\/p>\n
The written application is the first stage of the selection process. Selected applicants are invited to interview following which they have to submit a written reflection of the interview within the next 24 hours.<\/p>\n
And then wait for the results!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
