Hello,

I just got a rejection email from HBS for the round 3 admissions process even though I thought I had a pretty competitive profile. Did anyone else get accepted/rejected by Harvard?

I wish I could find out on what basis my application was rejected so that I could work on my weak points for the next round.

Best,
Minhas

My application got rejected as well. I send HBS an email for the reason , but I got an automated email stating they won't provide a cause of rejection.

Send me an email. You won't get feedback from them but I'll help you out. [email protected]

I'm so sorry you didn't hear good news. As I'm sure you know, round 3 is notoriously competitive. I was initially rejected from HBS and successfully reapplied two years later with a much stronger profile. If HBS or any other top school is your dream, don't give up. I do think it's worth investing in a ding report from an admissions consultant who can help you identify areas for improvement and give you a realistic assessment of your chances. Best of luck!
