Same school and multiple programs

by shaurya1 » Mon Sep 16, 2013 4:56 am
Hi,

I hope this question hasn't already been asked.
I tried searching for an answer to this online but couldn't find one. So I'm asking here.

If I'm applying to both PhD and MBA programs in the same school, do I need to send my score reports to both programs in each school?

Hello!

Yes, you do need to send separate score reports for the various programs within the same school. For example, here you will find the institution code for HBS MBA: https://www.hbs.edu/mba/find-answers/Pages/default.aspx

But then there are two other different institution codes for the HBS DBA and the HBS PhD.

Also - if you don't know about her already, Dr. Karen of The Professor is In is a great resource for PhD applicants: https://theprofessorisin.com/

I (and my clients) consider myself a great resource for MBA applicants. :)

Best of luck with your applications!

Really?? can you apply to 2 programs at the same school on the same year? are you in a position that you are a good candidate for both programs?

Thank you, Kaneisha!
That answers my question very clearly.
PS: This is me searching for "What is an MBA?" on the internet :)

To the other commenter:
I sent my scores to the PhD programs when I wrote the GMAT. But I now feel the MBA suits my profile better and was wondering if I would have to resend the scores to the same schools.
