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

Haha ... yes. put in the best application I could, and now all we can do is chill our beers and open it along with the portal.

If the decision goes in our favor, it can be life-transforming. If it doesn’t, we will use what we have to get what we want.

HBS was the last application I submitted and I knew it was a longshot, but for some reason I'm still nervous about tomorrow! Good lucks folks!
