Sometimes looking at the negative is more helpful than examining the positive. As opposed to asking what Harvard Business School is looking for, what is HBS not looking for? That is, if you are an HBS grad, worked in the admissions office, are a business school consultant, or otherwise have inside information about the HBS admissions process, what are the things HBS sees on applications and essays that throws up a red flag, or that is enough by itself to get an application thrown into the rejection letter pile? What patterns emerge in the rejected HBS applications?
Again, I’m looking for information from people who know, not from people who want to speculate or have second-hand information. When posting comments, please explain briefly how you know what you know so that we can take it into consideration.
