HBS Admission’s Director, Dee Leopold has written a new post in her blog, to help applicants with their application checklist.

According to her, HBS will require, “all transcripts be uploaded this year. No more templates for you to fill in your grades. This makes verification after admission easier for us and safer for you.” So, you can scan and upload your transcripts from all undergraduate and graduate academic institutions attended (full- or part-time).

Other than the essay questions, resume and recommendations (yes, HBS requires 3 of them), you are required to submit your GMAT OR GRE Scores, TOEFL (computer based) OR IELTS scores. Self reported scores in the application are alright so long as the admissions office receives the official scores from Pearson/ ETS.

While HBS does not insist on recommendations from your current supervisor, they recommend that you explain this in the additional information section of the application.
