Are you in your junior year of college and are thinking about applying to the new HBS 2+2 Program? Follow the 2 checklists below: a Hardware Checklist and a Software Checklist to ace the application process.
The Hardware Checklist includes everything that is required for the HBS 2+2 Program:
Introduce yourself on HBS website to get updates in your email box.
Get updates about HBS 2+2 Program from their official Facebook group and Twitter site.
If you are an international student attending a non-English-speaking undergraduate institute, you need to take the TOEFL or IELTS test if you haven't already. Results from tests taken on or after 7/1/08 are valid.
Take the GMAT or GRE test if you haven't already. Results from tests taken on 7/1/05 or after are valid.
Craft the essays at the beginning of year 2010 when the questions are disclosed.
Ask three recommenders to write recommendations for your HBS 2+2 application
Prepare your resume.
Finish writing the three essays.
Upload unofficial transcripts to the online application system.
Complete the online application.
Pay the application fee and submit the online application by July 1st. Make sure that your recommendations are submitted by the deadline as well.
Interview on HBS campus in August.
Now comes the Software checklist, which includes everything that I recommend you to do in the application process:
Think about where you have been. Not physically, but mentally and spiritually. How are you unique? What impacts of what experiences in your life gradually get you to where you are now?
Think about where you are going. What are your dreams? You answer will respond to the question Why Business School. Everyone knows that plans change all the time but they still make plans. Don't worry that you may change your dreams with time. The mentality is more important here and now.
Understand more about yourself. The entire application process is a self-reflection process. The more you understand yourself, the better you can present your uniqueness, and the more frank you can face your weakness. Everyone likes to read honest and openhearted essays, including the admissions crew.
Think about your leadership style. Are you a directive or a collaborative leader? Would you say that you are a good leader? Why and why not?
Do not be so overwhelmed by the application itself that you stop making self-improvement. This is a mistake that many applicants make. Continue to be unique. Continue to lead. Continue to make mistakes and learn. Continue to do things. Just do not sit at home polishing your essays EVERY DAY.
Line up 2-3 recommenders. If you are in early years of your college, please look out for an upcoming article about getting to know your professors and getting your professors to know you.
Write your essays, read and edit them after two days, and repeat a few times. Also ask different people to read and give you feedback.
Don't forget to plan your summer while you are busy with the application.
The Hardware is what everyone will do, the Software is where you differentiate yourself. A good application in and of itself is a rewarding experience for you, because knowing yourself better is an essential element of growing up.
