Katy Kelsall Bio: As a first-generation college student, navigating the financial aid system and paying for college were both significant challenges.

My primary goal is to increase access to higher education by providing students with the information and funding they need to be successful.

ZAKY · Answer

Could you inform me of the most popular course or program for students at HBS last year?

AK008 · Answer

Hi some questions here 
1) Could you please specify some key points that you absolutely look for in an application. What are some tips for an application to stand out?
2) Could you broadly mention the evaluation metrics for an essay and how it can be made to stand out?
3) How common/difficult is for an HBS grad to switch fields completely from their pre-MBA industries? Say entering from public markets investing to private markets investing or even to consulting or IBD? 
4) What are some things than an applicant can do in the 6-8months prior to joining class that can improve her MBA experience or even better chances of a great summer internship?

Dear Adcom,

How does the software engineer profile considered if the person is into consulting kind of work but has a designation from working organization as a software engineer? Will it be considered as a consultant profile or software engineer profile?

RishabhRKesarwani · Answer

Hey!
I have a couple of questions:
1. While my work experience has been all software engineering, I, to keep my profile diverse, have always worked on something different such as worked for NGOs, attended fellowships, attended conferences, etc. Can you tell me whether these side gigs would be considered in my application? If yes, how big a role can they play?
2. It is always said that Harvard selects the best of the best. And this phrase conveys to me that Harvard selects candidates who are from prestigious colleges and have worked in big multinationals. How much is a chance for someone who has not been a part of both? Obviously, I expect that there is a chance. But I want to know what other thing can stand out in such a candidate?

HBS just announced a need-based application waiver option for the Class of 2024. What are the criteria for applicants to be considered for the app waiver option? If I got rejected on the need-based app waiver, does this also exclude me from the need-based scholarship in HBS?
