The 2024-2025 MBA Application is Open!


We just opened the application for the MBA Class of 2027 (enrolling in fall 2025). We can’t wait to meet you through the application process—click here to get started!

Once you are ready to begin your application, remember to carefully review the instructions on our Application Process page and in the application itself. There are a few things to keep in mind:

  • We have refreshed the criteria on which we evaluate candidates. We are looking for applicants who are business-minded, leadership-focused, and growth-oriented. Remember, you don’t have to have a traditional business background to apply to HBS.
  • In this year’s application, we will ask you to respond to three short essays aligned with our criteria. This is your opportunity to discuss meaningful or formative experiences that are important to you that you haven’t had a chance to fully explore elsewhere in your application.
  • We continue to offer a need-based application fee waiver. To be considered, you will need to submit a request form. These requests will be due two weeks prior to the application deadlines.

We encourage you to join any of our upcoming events to learn more about HBS and the application process.

Be authentic, be yourself. Good luck!
