HBS completely changed their focus on what their essays are about now!!

[@mbaMission]

They really did! A big shift this year!

[@baranayarci2861]

For the curiosity focused essay. I did some research and concluded that it is highly praised if you mention a challenge you faced in life/work and how you overcame it by utilizing curiousity. What do you think about this idea?

[@mbaMission]

I think your question will be best answered by speaking with a consultant about your particular story! You can sign up at www.mbamission.com/consult/mba-admissions/

I have learned from past experience by attending different webinars conducted by admission consultants that B-schools like HBS always look for younger applicants for their full-time two-year MBA program. Is it true?

[@mbaMission]

The average years of work experience for the HBS class of 2025 is 4.9 years. So, generally speaking, most students are in their mid-late 20s. But those are just averages, meaning there are older and younger students in each class.
