As of July, 2020 he doesn't seem to have pursued an MBA. I'll keep rooting for him, though.

What are the coursework? For example someone from B. Tech who wants to get into management program should take which type of coursework?

@AK-py5kl 5 лет назад

Hi by courses do you mean actual college courses? Or can I take online courses eg on Coursera ?

@Ravi180563 3 года назад

WHAT COURSES

@solomonogene3944 3 года назад

Does the school you take these courses in matter?

@alexandratimofeeva5414 3 года назад

I’m an international applicant. Do you know of there’s any way to take extra courses for international students to boost the attractiveness as an applicant?

@marcusravi1684 Год назад

There is. But it won't even help by 1%. GPA and GMAT are the biggest determinants.

Hello. I'm a fresh college grad (class of 2018) who wants to apply to HBS in the fall of 2020. I graduated from GWU with a 3.6 in polisci and IR and just started working at Microsoft in their "MACH" training program. 730 GMAT, just took it yesterday. My whole interest in business school revolves around SCR and that's eventually what I want to do with my career (I know this sounds like fluff but I do have a compelling argument for this.) Despite not coming from a feeder school and having a lower than average GPA, do I have a shot at HBS? And what can I do during these two years to improve my chances?

@dharmagyasingh4869 2 года назад

Hey! It's been 3 years, what did you choose? I am in the same place right now where you were 3 years ago.

@keeranam4316 6 лет назад

How do professional qualifications compare to the grad school courses. (Eg CFA, CPA)

@6233390 6 лет назад

At top schools, e.g top 10 USNEWS, adcoms put more weight on grad school, and esp. uundergrad, gpa than getting CFA or CPA which is considered OK but not distinctive, even tho those two certifications are onerous.

@keeranam4316 6 лет назад

Ahh fair enough, I just finished my level 3 exams. I got a sub 3 GPA in an intense degree (Statistics) at the LSE and got a 700 gmat (730 practice but got flu will retake)

Disagree. His GPA is horrifically bad.

@jonjo2598 4 года назад

BS. If he worked at Goldman Sachs or another top IBD firm, he gets in with a 2. All they care about is top tier employment.
