HBS says "The Admissions Board will not consider any additional materials or changes once an application has been submitted.", and this was the experience of a close friend who applied a few years ago in R2. He had gotten a promotion but was not allowed to communicate it to HBS

Ok, i see, that means whatever score you apply with today, no modifications in that can be communicated to them even if you get a good score later.

660 GMAT is way low, even for a non indian, if he/she is targetting HBS. I’d suggest retaking GMAT to improve the score

So, applying with a 660 in R1 is not equivalent to applying with a score like 730 may be in R2 ? Just to clarify pls

average gmat score needed for harvard mba?

Hi anuj2000,

There is no such thing as an average GMAT score needed for any school, let aside for Harvard. GMAT is one component (albeit an important one) of the application process and the Ad Com views every profile in a holistic fashion. Hence, while you should be targetting a minimum score of 750 on the GMAT, a lot will also depend on the applicant pool you come from, your professional experience, and post-MBA goals. Needless to say, how well you tie up the different elements in your profile while working on your essays will also go a long way in determining your chances.

All the best!

Focusing on the rest of my applications! With my profile, getting an interview call is a massive long-shot anyway, so denial as well, I guess XD
