<p>Stats don't matter for Harvard MBA: That's one of the funniest thing i have ever heard.
Getting into Harvard MBA is even more difficult than what the acceptance rates portray because it's very very self selective.</p>
<p>Hey,I never commented on acceptance rate......well,where on earth I said that grades hold ''no importance'' at all??
I hav assumed that the applicant is qualified enugh for that....I mean,not evry single person who is able pay for MBA at Harvard can enter it!!!!
Sorry for not confirmin my assumption.....;)......</p>
<p>But you did comment on acceptance rate. This is what you wrote, verbatim:
"In general,I would say this..............U pay U in...thats it.....stats do matter but not as much as money!!"</p>
<p>That implies that people who can pay can get in, and therefore the acceptance rate for people who can pay should be high.</p>
<p>However, since it is possible for almost everyone to pay for a Wharton MBA (albeit with loans - which you include under the definition of "pay") this would imply that almost everyone could get in. However, almost 84% of the people who apply are not admitted, so your statement is false.</p>
<p>You are backing out on previous statements you made.</p>
<p>U didnt got my point......
again,I was assuming the applicant to b atleast quite enough for Harvard....so,after that thing he just require to consider only money..........
for eg-U hav 700+ GMAT score,good EC rec.,N good stats.......then only money is the hinderence..........If U pay U in.........got it???</p>
<p>I get it. You don't seem to however.</p>
<p>The Harvard MBA is a very self-selecting program, i.e. a lot of people don't apply because they know they don't have a shot, as abhishiv explains.</p>
<p>What you are saying is that the Harvard MBA admissions committee decide between the highly qualified applicants based on which ones of them that can pay the tuition fee? </p>
<p>You have to understand that giving a loan to an admitted Harvard MBA-student for him or her to pay for their tuition is a very safe investment. The student will get a hefty return on their investment. Therefore, there are very few admitted students that will be unable to pay their tuition - the ones who can't pay straight out of pocket can get a loan to pay. </p>
<p>And since almost everybody will be able to pay, that is not a differentiating factor in the admissions process. In short: your ability to pay the tuition will not matter in admission, since almost everybody applying will be able to pay the tuition fee.</p>
<p>This discussion has been taken too far in thread that it was not originally intended for. You insist on points that have been argued against, without providing counter-arguments. I'd be happy to further explain the logical reasoning in a PM, so PM me if you want to continue the discussion.</p>
