Exit Interview: How Krista Got Into Harvard Business School

Recorded February 8, 2012. In this interview, Eric speaks with Krista--a fellow Beat The GMAT member--to discuss how she got into HBS. This session covers topics like getting your company to sponsor your MBA, managing multiple recommenders, and applying with a spouse.

This is a great exit HBS admission interview. Thanks!

Great help for me! Thanks Eric and Krista. Got my undergrad a couple years ago and this has definitely jump-started my focus towards the enduring application process. Way to go.

This video is a great help. I am applying to Harvard as an undergrad and I have my interview Tuesday and I think this was of immense assistance for me. I also, like Krista, barely sleep. I work, go to college full-time all the while applying to college and taking standardized tests. I was fearful that my limited extracurriculars would be detrimental, but I guess not.

Admirable what she has accomplished! To be fair, her support network was also quite essential to her success, not just hard work. Tons of people work hard. Shelling out money for help with essay writing is the only place where I would call her integrity into question. The essays should be genuine and not a reflection of a professional copy editor's "golden touch". S/he was paid to provide a service, which I view as unfair. Are these the same people who argue against the recruitment of URM and other POC into the top schools and frame it as an unfair advantage?
