We will not accept the new GMAT Focus exam as it will not be available until after this year’s Round 1 deadline. As a reminder, test scores are valid for five years from the test date, so rest assured that your scores from the traditional GMAT exam will continue to be accepted into the future. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UCnbzKuG2q8 Harvard-Business-School-768x432.jpg

Those who got in, can you briefly tell us about your profile like GMAT score, country, industry etc

Once you have settled a little, I would love if anything in particular about your profile that significantly contributed to your HBS acceptance.

GMAT 760, Q50, V44, IR8, UK-based MBB consultant, previously IB at JPMorgan, plan to move to family business afterwards. Re-applicant from 2020, I think main driver was leadership experiences and track-record of achievements plus ambitious future plans that track with my past experiences

Very cool! Plus a stellar test score too. Congrats again

waitlisted! anyone else in the same boat?

I just got accepted as well, extremely happy. My profile is: Academic background: Industrial Engineer WE: 3 yrs local Investment Bank GMAT: 770 Extracurriculars: Several activities during university AND while I was working I think having a coherent story between work experience, extracurriculars & future goals was key (In my case, my goal is to lead the energy transition, and it is in line with what I have done at my current job & extracurriculars). Plus, my gmat is probably an outlier for LatAm standards. The most important advice, in my opinion, is be honest and true to yourself!! Good luck !!

Wow, congrats! I work in energy consulting, and my ST and LT interests are also towards improving renewable energy, especially in emerging markets. I would love to connect if you are okay. with it.

Hello everyone, Congratulations to those who have received an admit. For those who haven’t received one yet, I hope you receive positive news from other schools you have applied to. As part of GMAT Club’s continuous efforts to improve the forum experience, we’re introducing a revamped version of our "What Are My Chances" tool. To accomplish this, we need the help of you awesome folks! If you applied in R1 this year, it would immensely benefit us if you could fill out the following survey. The survey will not take more than two minutes but will significantly contribute to our research efforts, allowing us to provide more accurate evaluations to our future candidates. https://forms.gle/VXhtGHtt2Fw3HX7WA Best of luck!
