谈到如何申请哈佛商学院,我觉得这个校友的比喻非常恰当:
“The way to get into HBS is to understand that the application process is like getting funding from a VC. If you think about it, HBS is "making an investment in you" and your application is "the business plan".
Following this logic everything starts to fall into place.
In order to get "an investment" you need to convince the investor you can generate a return on the investment, that means - you have a great vision and a plan of how you would get there (get there = make an impact in the world that would carry the HBS name with it) and you have the background, skills and experience to get there, which is exactly what's required in the application.
As "an investor", HBS is looking to diversify its "portfolio", thus the more "unique" your background is, the better. HBS doesn't want to "invest" in bankers/consultants/other only.
Lastly, to be a bit cynical, it's not really an analogy, it's actually the real deal...if you "make it" after HBS, they will get to see your donation and a building in your name ;), that's the return on their "investment".
More seriously, any positive contribution you will make in the world will carry the HBS brand.
So, HBS got to "invest" in you, you got the HBS brand in your resume, you were successful, the HBS brand gets reinforced (that's the return on "their investment").
If you understand this you will write a better application. |
