I’m thinking to apply for R2 with GRE 331 (Q169,V162) as an international applicant. As I have master form the US school I could waive the English proficiency test. But since I graduated from local uni HBS said they highly recommend to submit those scores in the HP. For R1 schools I waived scores as it was expired but got all interview invites so far but was wondering whether I should take TOEFL/IELTS for HBS….I know it’s better to take but if anyone has similar backgrounds and got interview invites or accepted please let me know

Indian, overrepresented, computer science - work exp of 7.5 years with major projects and promotions + gmat score of 750, decent college exp - college fest organiser, dramatics, debates all that shenanigan -> how are my chance for HBS, I mean should i even apply or it’s not worth trying?
I want to tell you a little exercise you’ll learn in i-lab at HBS if you get in, before you apply. As HBS has provided need based application waiver, you anyhow lose nothing if you apply but here’s how you should do a Validation check- in the past 3-4 years, look at profiles from all the HBS admits (Use Linkedin fliters by country and industry and School) Look into their scores- most of the people have those on the profile. Apply the analysis on the odds of people who actually get in. I get a lot of deluded people who basically have a same profile as a person with a higher GMAT, a usual (as I call it), and their GMAT is nearly 600 and they expect to be at HBS. Simple statement- if someone has a similar career progression as you and has had a higher GMAT (if there are a bunch of those applicants), the odds are that the other person will get in. (Assuming the other person is not a massive screw up in essays- even if he is, it’s still highly unlikely that the other person will get in).

I did the Linkedin filter and didn't find a single person outside of MBB or PE in my pool (Indian male). Was very disheartening :(

Hey everyone.... on the Web application what exchange rate (past/present/purchasing power parity) should I use to convert salary from foreign currency to US dollar? ... Also, to convert my salary from a few years ago to USD should I still use the present exchange rate or the exchange rate at that time or Purchasing power parity calculator? ... Thanks in advance

I think the application states that you can use any type of currency conversion. They want to get a ballpark figure

Hi all,

Does anyone know if HBS calls successful R1 applicants prior to "final notification" date?

When I applied in 2018 for the 2+2, I ultimately learned I was unsuccessful the day prior, when a friend I met at the interview called to see who had called to congratulate me (lol). I guess he had been called that day by his interviewer and was notified that he was successful.

based on the clearadmit chat room from last year’s R1 (lol), they do not call before the date and everyone finds out at once. but sometimes, they’ll call you afterwards
