Thinking about Harvard Business School for my MBA...

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>I was rejected by Harvard earlier this month, but even though I may be rejected from Harvard for my undergraduate, I am still considering applying to Harvard Business School in about 5-7 years.</p>

<p>My current plan is to go to Boston College's CSOM, do well there, get a BBA, get a job, score well on my GMAT, work for a while, and then come back to apply to Harvard Business School.</p>

<p>I know seven years is a long while to stretch it out... but what can I do, besides doing what I have just specified, to increase my chances of getting into HBS?</p>

<p>I also hear that HBS requires no prior work experience, but is work experience recommended if I wish to increase my chances for admission?</p>

<p>Yes, unless you are a top student with serious EC’s, there is little chance of gaining admissions without work experience.</p>

<p>oh dear…</p>

<p>when you get to college, find stuff that you want to be involved in and talk to an advisor.</p>
