The HBS website mentions "An international applicant is required to hold a college or university degree equivalent to a four-year American baccalaureate degree". Does that make applicants who hold commerce or arts degrees from Indian universities ineligible to apply at HBS, since these are 3 year programs? While the Stanford website explicitly mentions "Degrees from international universities offering only 3-year baccalaureate degrees are valid equivalents"- Does HBS also offer such concessions? Please advise.

HBS doesn't offer "concessions" (EssaySnark is guessing this was just a poor word choice on the OP's part) however usually the three-year Indian university degree is accepted at most American bschools. EssaySnark is not intimately familiar with the degrees and schools in India however so if OP has any doubts about the specifics of his degree, he should contact the HBS admissions office directly. Like with Stanford however, EssaySnark assumes this is no problem for Harvard.

"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."
