Hi Everyone,
I was just invited to have breakfast with Harvard's Admissions Committee and some alumni, but I'm not sure if I should attend or not. I am not planning on applying to Harvard as I don't believe I would be a good fit and I also don't think my chances of getting in are very high anyway. But I am still debating it just to get the experience. I also get pretty nervous thinking about interacting with the committee and the alumni, so is it worth it to go through that bit of stress?

Hi jaja231,
From our perspective, this is the time to do your due diligence and research various potential programs. It seems that there is an inkling of interest to attend Harvard (otherwise why reach out), and there is nothing to lose by accepting the invite and attending. The best way to know your fit is by spending some time with the adcom and students, in particular. The experience can be eye-opening and you can realize that Harvard is the place for you; or, you can leave the breakfast meeting knowing that, despite its reputation, Harvard's environment and cohort is not one in which you would thrive. Either way, you make an informed decision on your application.
I am happy to continue the conversation. When ready, please reach out.
Good luck!

jaja231 GO! No matter what you think of HBS, will likely be a chance to look/see/feel what is on the minds of the adcom. And what is true for them is likely to be very helpful in developing your apps for other schools.
1 - Pick their brains.
2 - Network with other attendees and form a team of peeps who can provide feedback, in the event you don't partner with a consultant. Better than nothing.
So much good can come from this - and of course, you can check in with your perceptions of HBS and see if they match what you feel there.
I'm curious about why you feel you would not be a good fit there vs. other schools. Might be time to stretch outside your comfort zone?
