Thanks Lisa, The life crossroad that I'm facing right now is whether to stay in a low paying project management role while finishing my MA or withdraw from the program and pursue work opportunities elsewhere to bulk up that portion of my application (and potentially save up for HBS) which is the wea...

Question about Harvard and grades
I know having an MA would help out on the resume portion of the application, but my question is - apart from that, does the adcom at HBS compare candidates only on the undergraduate transcripts when it comes to GPA?
