So I'm checking the Class of 2011 profiles from the link above and can't believe my eyes:
Admits Within 3 Years of College Graduation** 441
** Includes class years 2006-2009:
2009 - 1
2008 - 15
2007 - 131
2006 - 294
Does this mean HBS only took ONE applicant with 3 years of work experience this year? I find that hard to believe given that HBS tends to love younger applicants... what do you guys think?
No. It means that they accepted 1 guy that graduated college in 2009 (this year), 15 guys that graduated college in 2008 (last year), and so forth.
if you add up all the numbers 1,15,131,294, then they add up to 441. Meaning, in 2009, they accepted 441 students that graduated within the last 3 years. make sense?
Actually, these are accepted and matriculating applicants. So HBS could have taken more than 1 college grad but required them to defer (possibly to make room for the extra 42?). I seriously doubt they only accepted 1 when past years its been more like 16 with half deferring.
