Five Years’ Work Experience Not the Norm at HBS
In a post on her blog on Wednesday, Harvard Business School (HBS) Director of Admissions and Financial Aid Dee Leopold provided a breakdown of when the HBS Class of 2010 graduated from college.
The simple but revealing bar graph showed that the vast majority of the class, 65 percent, graduated in 2004 and 2005, suggesting that they could only have gained between three and four years of work experience before enrolling at HBS. Indeed, the sweet spot now in terms of work experience, at least at Harvard, seems to be squarely between two and five years.
Whereas in the past, having more than five years of experience under your belt before heading to business school was the norm, it now seems to be the exception. Only 11 members of the class of 2010 graduated from college in 1999 or before.
