Harvard University—Harvard Business School
Applying for the Harvard Business School has never been easier and there is no second thought about it.
As Harvard is the second most selective business school, the admissions team at Harvard Business School looks into a lot of prospects that include leadership, impact, and intellectual curiosity. So to be among the selected few who will end up in their classrooms, an individual need to really be at his best. Additionally, no one is a shoe-in for Harvard Business School even if their parents are alumni of the program; never assume that you’ll get in, you need to literally work yourself hard to be there.
