Getting admission in Harvard Business school is dream for anyone who wants to pursue MBA. US News have published an interview with HBS admission officers on how to get admission.
Anyone applying for Graduate School admission must read all the 10 questions and answers. You can get tons of useful information, if you read between the lines of the answers and read them twice or more.
1. What can applicants do to set themselves apart from their peers?
The mission of Harvard Business School is to educate leaders who will make a difference in the world. Accordingly, we try to assemble a class of talented leaders with different backgrounds and perspectives, but common qualities. Some of those qualities are intellectual curiosity, initiative, sense of purpose, energy, personal maturity, the ability to work with others in a community, and a moral compass that points true north.
2. What do you look for in the application essays? What do the essays tell you about a candidate?
Through the essays and the rest of the application (including the letters of recommendation), we are trying to get to know you as a person, so we want to hear your voice coming through loud and clear in the essays. At the same time, a candidate shouldn’t go “over the top” to stand out, writing what he or she thinks we want to hear, or presenting a persona that has nothing to do with reality, or a list of accomplishments that stretch the imagination. This is not an essay-writing context, but, again, a way for us to get to know you.
