HBS Awards/Recognition

HBS' online application reads: "Please list all distinctions, honors, and awards (academic, military, extracurricular, professional, community) in order of importance to you (i.e., list the most important first). List each award only once."

Then there are only 3 slots...are we only supposed to enter three, or am I missing something with the online form?

Yes skills tested in the application are brevity and decision making. You need to do your essays in tight word limits and make choices around which activities to showcase. Choose activities that show a diversity of interests/talents, affect the most people, and are the most impressive/pedigreed.

I really like the way you put that, Alex:

I agree. It's not about sharing every single thing you have accomplished; it's making choices about which ones to share and how to share them.

Well said, Alex, well said.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
