哈佛大学留学申请前提是什么呢？
Introduce Yourself: The Written Application
To apply to Harvard Business School, we ask you to assemble and prepare a variety of materials that will help us assess your qualifications。
Remember, all materials must be submitted to HBS online by the application deadlines。 The following serves as a preview of what you need to prepare。
Application Components
The application for admission consists of the following:
TRANSCRIPTS
Candidates must have the equivalent of a U。
S。 bacheloraposs degree from an accredited institution is required (unless applying through the 2+2 program — please see information for college seniors)。
Degrees from international universities offering three-year baccalaureate degrees are valid equivalents。
We require uploaded transcripts from all undergraduate and graduate academic institutions that you have attended (full- or part-time)。
You may upload an "unofficial" or student copy of your transcript; however, we will request an official copy for verification purposes should you be admitted to HBS。
When the Admissions Board looks at your transcripts, we are looking at the whole picture — not just your GPA。 We take into account where you went to school, the courses that you took and your performance。
We understand the structures of different grading systems worldwide。 There is no minimum GPA to apply, although our students usually have strong undergraduate records。
Undergraduate academics are just one factor the Admissions Board uses to evaluate a candidate。
GMAT/GRE
The GMAT or GRE is required in order to submit an application。
When submitting your application, you may report the unofficial GMAT or GRE score given on the day of the test, or your official score if you have received it。
Every applicant must request that Pearson (for the GMAT) or ETS (for the GRE) send an official score report directly to HBS。
We require you to complete the AWA portion of the exam; however, you do not need the results in order to submit your application。
If you take the GMAT on or after June 5, 2012, we also require you to complete the Integrated Reasoning portion of the GMAT。
Please be advised that in order to apply for admission in Fall 2013, scores must be dated January 1, 2008, or more recently。
There is no minimum GMAT or GRE to apply and we do not have a bias toward one test or the other。 If you look at our class profile, you can see that we have a wide range of GMAT scores in the current first year class。
If you do test multiple times, you may report your best score, and we will only look at the scores from the single test sitting you report in your application。
TOEFL/IELTS/Pearson Test of English
A TOEFL, IELTS or Pearson Test of English (PTE) is required if you did not attend an undergraduate institution where the sole language of instruction is English。
If you completed a graduate degree which was taught in English, it is recommended you submit one of these tests, but it is not required。
Scores from ALL of these tests are valid for two years。 These tests must be dated January 1, 2011 or more recently to be valid。
HBS only accepts the Internet-based (IBT) version of the TOEFL。
HBS does not have a minimum test score to apply, however, the MBA Admissions Board discourages any candidate with a TOEFL score lower than 109 on the IBT, an IELTS score lower than 7。
5, or a PTE score lower than 75 from applying。
ESSAYS
There are 2 required essays。
There is a 400-word limit for each essay。
We think you know what guidance weaposre going to give here。 Donapost overthink, overcraft and overwrite。 Just answer the question in clear language that those of us who donapost know your world can understand。
RECOMMENDATIONS
You will need to have three recommendations submitted online by the application deadlines (2 recommendations are required for 2+2 candidates)。
Recommenders will be asked to fill out a personal qualities and skills grid and answer our four additional questions (see below)。
It is the applicantaposs responsibility to ensure that all recommendations are submitted online by the deadline date for the round in which the applicant is applying。
Our general advice is that two out of three recommendations should be from your professional life - ideally one of those should come from a current or recent supervisor。
We completely understand that this is not always possible。 Use your best judgment。 Look at the questions we are asking recommenders to complete。
Find people who know you well enough to answer them! This should take priority over level of seniority or HBS alumni status。
