Hi , Guys, I am just wondering for international admits, does HBS require their transcripts to be verified by WES?

Thank you very much.

From sonderful

Listing out waitlist relevant dates from 2021 intake so that folks in future years who are waitlisted Rd. 1 have a reference:
- December 10, 2020: Waitlisted on Rd. 1 decision date
- March 5, 2021: Deadline to submit a waitlist update letter on "anything you would like to highlight since your application was submitted in Round 1" but no consideration of additional support letters from external parties or new test scores
- March 30, 2021: Notified of whether you're admitted/rejected/still on the waitlist, syncing up with Rd. 2 decisions
- April 30, 2021: Deadline to submit another waitlist update letter, similar to the first (or the first, if you were waitlisted Rd. 2)
- May 24-28, 2021: Calls going out this week with offers of admission. Most will be rejected by the end of the week if not admitted, with a small group going into the summer (I've heard sometimes up to the week before the term starts)

HBS says (on https://www.hbs.edu/mba/find-answers/Pages/default.aspx) "We consider only the score from a single test sitting that you present in your application." which seems to imply that you get to decide which one test score they will consider -- either Attempt 1 or Attempt 2, but not the "best of" both.

Harvard HBS AdCom is doing a Live Q&A at MBA Spotlight Fair in June 2021

Know Your Presenters
Nelson, Josh

Kelsall, Katie
Katy Kelsall Bio: As a first-generation college student, navigating the financial aid system and paying for college were both significant challenges. I ultimately decided to turn my personal struggle with finance into an opportunity to help and educate others. My primary goal is to increase access to higher education by providing students with the information and funding they need to be successful.

After a short presentation, the Harvard HBS admissions committee will be conducting Q&A on YouTube Live with GMAT Club. To submit your questions, please check more details at the following link https://gmatclub.com/forum/harvard-hbs- ... l#p2812019
