As always, Harvard Business School has created buzz – this time, not only because of its new essay question (see here: https://gmatclub.com/forum/new-hbs-essay-and-rec-questions-have-been-released-198293.html) but also because of its Round 1 deadline of September 9, 2015, which stands out greatly because it is set for nearly one month earlier than has been the trend in the past five years!
A September 9 deadline means that Round 1 candidates need to prepare the Harvard application well in advance of the deadlines for many other Round 1 schools, assuming that those other schools will stay with traditional Round 1 deadline dates in early October. So start mulling over your Harvard essay topic soon! You have only one essay to “market yourself” excellently to Harvard Business School. Also, keep an eye out for the Harvard application form, which traditionally has been one of the most complex of all business school applications – asking for great detail about your biggest challenges at work and your most significant achievements at work. With such details required and ample space in which to provide answers, you will want to give great thought to how you respond to those prompts. Harvard indicates on its website that the application form will be available in June 2015, but it provides the information you need to begin working on your essay and it also provides the recommendation questions you can pass on to your recommendation writers.
Don’t procrastinate with those letters of recommendation! You will want your recommendation writers to finish them before they head off on any August vacation.
