I'm from India. There's no concept of a GPA, and I still don't know what credits are. And I went to the top 2 university which is actually a B-I-G state university. So the transcripts will be very different from the ones the US schools are used to. And no, things don't get done in a day here. I'm going to submit the same format of transcripts used here. It'll be easier on me, and subsequently if I'm required to send official copies, it'll be easier for HBS too.
Thanks for your advice though

Guys, I have an urgent question regarding the recommendation letters - is HBS SERIOUS about the 250 word-limit per question?
Compared to other schools, I feel that this gives very little space for recommenders to elaborate about the applicant and provide specific examples. After all, the 1st question only touches on how he/she knows you. The other 2 questions (with the 3rd one being most-opened) are similarly quite short. I'm drafting one for a recommender right now and having a difficult time fitting everything in the 3rd question.
For those who have applied and have drafted the letters for your recommenders - did you go over the word limit and if so, by how much do you think is acceptable by HBS?

1. Please comment on the context of your interaction with the applicant. How long have you known the applicant and in what connection? If applicable, briefly describe the applicant's role in your organization. (250-word limit)
2. Please describe the most important piece of constructive feedback you have given the applicant. Please detail the circumstances and the applicant's response.
(250-word limit)
3. Please make additional statements about the applicant's performance, potential, or personal qualities you believe would be helpful to the MBA Admissions Board.
(250-word limit)
