Academics

Given the “strong brand recognition” and “prestige” of Harvard Business School, it’s easy to understand why many prospective MBAs hope to attend. The academics are “stellar,” and students here love the fact that much of the curriculum is based around the “case method.” Many also appreciate that “HBS does force you to see your gaps in leadership, ability to speak persuasively in front of a group, and potential to succeed in certain industries.” Students do caution that the first year often operates at a “breakneck pace.” Fortunately, “the 2nd year is much less hectic, allowing students to tailor their schedules as they see fit.” More importantly, Harvard MBAs have access to “amazing faculty members” who bring their “incredible real-world experience” into the classroom. They tend to be “present and excited to teach” as well as “very prepared.” Students also speak highly of the “incredible” administration. They are “extremely thoughtful and thorough,” and they ensure that the program is “run like clockwork.”
