Each fall, 900 students representing more than
70 countries arrive on campus to begin their 2-year journey through the MBA
Program at Harvard Business School. There is no single formula for a
successful applicant. Candidates are evaluated on their achievements, their
potential, and the fit between what they aspire to in life and what our MBA
Program has to offer.
The following are the deadlines for the MBA Class entering in Fall 2005:

What is the average GMAT score?
The average GMAT score for the class entering in fall 2003 was 708.
However, the Admissions Board hopes that all applicants will recognize the
following: that the range of GMAT scores is very broad, that there is no
"minimum" score requirement, and that the GMAT is just one piece of data
among the many used to evaluate an application.
What is the average length of work experience?
The average number of years of full-time work experience for the class
entering in fall 2002 was approximately 4 years. Please bear in mind that
HBS does NOT require a minimum number of years' work experience prior to
entering the MBA program.

Financial aid is awarded to students based on the cost of the Program
and their ability to contribute. A student's expected contribution is based
on their available resources, which include?savings, investments (stocks,
bonds, annuities, and employee benefit plans), IRA accounts (after-tax
value), trust funds, after-tax earnings for the student and his/her spouse,
G.I. or Social Security benefits, home equity and other real estate equity,
income tax refunds, outside grants and loans and parental/family
contributions.
Given the rigorous pace and range of educational activities of our Program,
students should not plan to be employed during the academic terms.
