Hello hbs 2014, Thank you also for replying. I would just like to clarify that you don’t need to be “paid” in an internship to put a job in the “part-time employment” section. I emailed HBS about this. I worked as a research assistant and a registration adviser in my school a few months ago without ...

Hi hbs2014,

Yes, I think you need to ask GMAC to send an official copy of your GMAT scores to HBS before the release of admission result. Official copy of scores may arrive later than July 1.

Hope this helps

Best regards,
Gabriel

Hello guys,

Are we allowed to include high school achievements, extracurricular activities, volunteer works, and work experience during high school in the 1-page resume? I think that such things can "beautify" our resumes if allowed :D

I hope someone can reply soon.

Thank you,
Gabriel

@ Fused, I think getting the GMAT out of the way while you're still fresh with your math skills is a great idea. I also advocate the idea of working first before you apply to an MBA program while not worrying about the GMAT. Some of my friends also have a the same strategy (i.e. work first, then go ...

Hello fused, As you mentioned, you gotta do things step by step. Based on my observation, you have two problems with the GMAT like most of us do: psychological preparation and actual test preparation. I think you have done a tremendous job for the latter because you have managed to finish OG 11, OG1...

Unfortunately, I haven't started them yet because I was focusing on the GMAT too much.

Hi Akhilesh1988, Sorry, I didn’t give my email address because if I post it here in BTG, spams will permeate my email account (based on past experience). That’s why I was suggesting that you just give me a private message (by clicking the PM button) so I can help in your needs. Please don’t hesitate...

Hi soumyamohan1988, Yes, you must give the most recent grade that you have. If you don’t have your 2nd semester grades yet, I suggest that you ask HBS (2plus2@hbs.edu) if it is permissible that you send only up to the 1st semester of your 3rd year. For Akhilesh1988, Are you asking for my email addre...

Hello Akhilesh1988, Yes, I am going to take the GMAT as late as June 29 but by that time, I’m going to make sure that all my application materials are done. Yes, you can take the GMAT that late (although I advise that you do it if you can take it earlier so you don’t cram). You are allowed to take t...

Hello Akhilesh1988, The transcripts, I think, should include all your grades in your undergraduate university. I don’t know what’s the system of education in India. If your undergrad classes started at the Xth grade, you should start there. The idea is that your grades should only focus on your unde...

Hello akhilesh1988, Transcript pertains to the list of all your undergraduate grades in a particular university. In the case of 2+2, they ask you to send your transcripts from all undergraduate universities attended. In other words, they want to know all of your undergraduate grades from all academi...

Hi Pulkit89.iit As far as I know, “non-English-speaking undergraduate university” possibly means that the medium of instruction in your undergraduate education is NOT English. You can know this based on what language your professors normally use in professional teaching atmosphere. You can also chec...

Hi Trambilo, IMO, I would suggest that you get one academic recommendation letter and another one from an internship or community involvement. In this way, you get to give 'adcoms' diversified testimonials from people who know you from many perspectives: academic and work experience or community inv...

Hi Graham, I am very pleased that you replied to my post at the very right time. Thank you very much. Currently, I am contemplating whether I should drop my application to 2+2 program. I just finished my stressful summer classes during which I was also preparing for the GMAT. I had received a lot of...
