Hi a random question here.... applied to HBX CORe program many years ago but didn’t follow through to finish. would that hurt the chances to apply for hbs?
Just if I understand it right, do you mean the HBS Adcom will check if that happened or not?

Generally speaking, it should not happen. Application is self reported and I don’t think anyone mentions anything they didn’t finish

I noticed that there is no forum where people volunteer to practice mock HBS interviews with each other.
Please let me know if anyone is interested in practice that in the next 3-4 days.

Best.

Happy to provide a platform for free if that helps anyone! Feel free to reach out. It certainly is exciting and scary at the same time to have received an interview invite and practicing without professional feedback. Can certainly provide our tools to prepare if anyone needs it.

Great initiative, hoping this helps people personalize their stories though. Not sure how the adcoms have felt about those essays coz this is new. Let’s see. I do believe that this helps people from low income backgrounds as does MBA Conquerors with need based aid! Good luck y’all. We are always rooting for the talent to make it.

Hi All. I have my GMAT online exam scheduled for tomorrow morning.
I wanted to know if we can send out our score to schools well after the exam (let us say after couple of days) free of cost or we have to choose schools then and there? I know we can send afterwards but it costs some amount. But for sending the scores free, do we have to submit schools then and there?

I have just launched a GPT agent to help MBA applicants write world-class essays. The model was trained using essays from successful candidates who were accepted into top MBA programs, including Harvard, Stanford GSB, and INSEAD – with more to come soon. My goal is to give everyone with amazing backgrounds or stories a fair chance in their applications. As always, I welcome your feedback. Happy writing! https://chat.openai.com/g/g-CI2Gfd5dI-mba-essays
This is a great initiative. Thanks so much for this. Now comes a wonder, do schools think using AI to help crafting essay as a misdoings? Because all these time we always be encouraged to be authentic and be ourselves even when it comes to a wording selections

Many applications include certifications that AI as not used in any form to assist in the crafting of essays. For example, the HBS application includes a "Statement of Application Authenticity" stating that "I hereby certify that all parts of my written application, including the essay, short answers, and resume, are authored solely by me and not by a third party nor created by generative artificial intelligence or machine learning software" to which the applicant must check a box to acknowledge.

Be very careful in which resources you choose to employ as you craft your application products.

I did - pretty certain this email was just to ensure no one’s contact info changed during the waiting period. Likely not an indicator.

I didn’t receive it. Did anyone else not get the email?

anyone can share how to prepare for HBS application? do you guys know about "Application Lab"? Is it useful?

Hi. ApplicantLab is quite helpful and not just for HBS. It really helps to brainstorm, figure out what you have and then logically apply it to various parts of the application. It is a pretty ingenious system as a way to automate admissions consulting.

I did not find it good enough.. if you find a consultant, go for it. Some Indian consultants charge very less, withing 1 lac or maybe you can try for 1 college, some consultants can do in less than 50k but they will be tough to find

Hey guys - I am planning on applying to HBS this year but I have given GRE instead of GMAT and I currently have 2.5 years of work experience - is that good enough or should I wait another year to apply?

Also - my gre score is 321 should I give it once more?
