Harvard Business School (HBS) accepts both the GMAT and the GRE and does not prefer one over the other.
HBS Admissions Director Dee Leopold in her Director’s Blog has explained this issue in detail.
The vast majority of applicants opted to submit GMAT scores, the percentage of matriculating admits as compared to total applicants broken out by test were within close range.
But candidates will no longer have the option to submit both test scores.
- HBS cares less about the overall score than the components
- HBS looks at subscores in the context of the candidate’s profile.”
- The GMAT or GRE-Q score of an engineer with top grades who has been doing highly quantitative work on the job is of less consequence that that of an English major with no quantitative coursework or professional experience.
- The English major would be helped by a strong GMAT/GRE quant score because it would serve to show Leopold’s team that he or she will be able to handle the quant work at HBS.
- Candidates who don’t have a background that demonstrates extensive practice in reading and writing may be helped by strong verbal subscores.
HBS does not accept LSATs, MCATs, SATs or undergraduate grades.
Unofficial scores are fine for the application, and official scores will be accepted after the deadline.
