We will not accept the new GMAT Focus exam as it will not be available until after this year’s Round 1 deadline. As a reminder, test scores are valid for five years from the test date, so rest assured that your scores from the traditional GMAT exam will continue to be accepted into the future. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UCnbzKuG2q8 Harvard-Business-School-768x432.jpg

Can people who did/didn’t get interview invitation also share their GPA along with GMAT/GRE too? I’m curious if grades are being balanced by the the admission office. Thanks!

There are too many outstanding people applying to Harvard. Even if you have perfect GRE scores and a strong resume, you still need some luck.
