I've never heard of it, and I live in PA and have several post-grad degrees.\n\nName recognition is definitely a factor to consider when choosing a school.  When you're looking for employment, it's going to be a lot easier if you can drop a name like Harvard.

You can do it.  However, you'll have to work on some of your English grammar/writing if you even want to be considered for admission to Harvard....that goes for graduating too.\n\nGood luck!

While I don't attend Harvard, Ivy League schools look at several aspects of a student's application for acceptance.  Simply admitting students based on test scores would not necessarily make for a diverse, or interesting class, and that's what they want.

Definitely a 4.0, but you have to offer much more then good grades on your transcript (extra curricular activities, sports, leadership... anything that really stands out). They're looking for people with a wide range of talents. Its sad, but its true if your a women you'll have a better chance, and if your ethnographic. Harvard is one of the absolute most prestigious university's to get into... but there are plenty other well respected colleges that aren't as competitive to get admission.

I don't study at Harvard, but I do attend Columbia University which is in the Ivy League (along with Harvard.)  If you have any questions that you think I may be able to answer feel free to ask.

A lot of the larger universities in the US have good business programs. At the top of the list would be the Ivy League schools, assuming you qualify. University of Pennsylvania is known for their Wharton School of Business, and MIT has their Sloan. Then there's always Harvard Business School. The other  way of telling is if it has a name, like the Darden School of Business in U of Virginia, or the Fisher College of Business at Ohio State. This usually means that the have a huge corporate sponsor for the school and do their very best to get the school to produce students who are ready to be executives soon after graduation by providing them with the best tools and exposure during the college years. \n\nIf you really want a more qualitative insight, you can always check out the US News and World Report's rankings: http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/business/topprogs_brief.php

Officially, Harvard Business School accepts people that show some sort of talent for future success in business. But, the real reasons are the following:\n\n1) He attended an elite Ivy League school, i.e Yale.\n2) His father was a Yale alumnus, a former fighter pilot in World War II, a former CIA agent, and a senator from Connecticut. Like someone else said, he comes from pedigree.\n3)His family made money in the oil business.\n\nThe some of the reasons why he got into Yale is because of the following reasons:\n\n1) Refer to reason 2 for Harvard Business School\n2) He attended one of the most elite preparatory schools in America, Phillips Andover Academy, which sends a lot of students to HYP, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton.\n3) His grandfather is a Yale alumnus.\n\nBut, being completely unbiased, though it is true that Bush had a C average from Yale, he had a B average in the subjects in his major(history).\n\nEven though, the average GPA of Harvard Business School's entering students in the past three to four years have been a 3.78 GPA.

You'd have to be on the top honors of your class with excellent grades and a high GPA that's more than 4.0.  Plus, you'd need to have lots of clubs and activities in your high school career to show that you'd be a great representative of their school.\n\nThey do accept first time freshmans into Harvard, but I think what your friends mean is according to the odds of being accepted to Harvard.  Harvard is a very hard school to get into because they have very high standards in their students.

you are more than welcome to 'try', but i wont 'support' you if anything goes wrong . . .\n\nshirts can mean many things to different people. in the case of a 'harvard' shirt, they could\n-go there\n-want to go there\n-have previously attended\n-support the institute due to shared interests\n\n\nas for the cost of a harvard shirt, ebay has different 'branded' clothes in the $5-20 range.\n\n\ni am not a salesman, so someone else will need to answer that last question. sorry.

If what you are thinking is that you can go to harvard or OxCam and take more or less the same courses that Harvard undergraduates take, that won't happen. They do have extension courses at Harvard that you can take, but it is not "Harvard College" the famous part that everyone want to get into. \n\nThere are many independent organizations that run summer courses for profit in the towns of Oxford and Cambridge, and they may use the facilities at the universities, but they are not the University of Cambridge or Oxford. Still, you get to see what the place looks like, and if you tell your friends, they wont know the difference! :)

I believe that the University of Phoenix has a MBA program (a very good one, I believe).  They are all over the USA, and are for working individuals...

You can get into the state level universities for your higher studies, if you do not have a work experience.\nOr either you should show an extra ordinary capabilities and achievements and an extravagant essay, if you want to get into ivy leagues(Harvard , cornell...etc)\n\nShow maturity , only then you would be able to get into. good GMAT scores give you a chance to waive ur bad undergraduate  university scores
