Hi All, Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I wanted to check how to fill in "Each year's GPA score" in the HBS application? Should I put in my static GPA for each year, or how my cumulative GPA changed each year. So, for example, if my 1st year static GPA was 3.5, my second year static GPA 3.7, my third year static GPA 4.0, and my fourth year static GPA 4.0, should I put in those numbers, or should I put in 3.5, 3.6, 3.8, 3.9 (my cumulative as it changed over the years - also this is made up and so the math may be wrong =) . Thanks!

The way I read it I thought they wanted to see each year's stand-alone GPA, not cumulative.

Good article on the new FIELD curriculum at HBS https://management.fortune.cnn.com/2011/ ... ts-abroad/

Sounds exciting - where are you planning on going?

Mumbai. My team and I are working with a large grocery chain to create an online grocery service.

I saw were Sandy Kreisberg estimated 850 interviews for the first round. Is that his estimate based on historical figures or is that number based on something else? Thanks!
