9 years agoHello, eligibility to apply is a bachelor's degree. work experience, GMAT scores and TOEFL scores. To be admitted is another league, your entire profile will be strictly scrutinized, yout career orientation must be clear and you must be having significant achievements and career growth. Remember that mere meeting the eligibility criteria won't suffice. Urge you to check the Harvard Business school website for details.

Hi! You Should have completed bachelor's degree or its equivalent.And you have to Clear GMAT with High Scores. Harvard Business School is the top B-School in the world. So the competition will be high. All the Best! -
To get into Harvard, your UG result is not enough. Harvard is one of the top business schools, so when you try to get admission, they not only analyze your UG marks, they see a whole picture of you.
For example:
1. The school you studied.
2. The curricular activities, which you have taken. (Essay competition, your participation in essay writing and speech competitions).
3. The college you studied.
You will have a better chance, if you are a medalist from IIT and a you need to have really high score in GMAT and any one of the English proficiency language exams.
