As said, it is extremely difficult to gain free access to these case studies. They are not made readily available to the public by the school itself. There are certainly places out there where you can buy case studies, but that doesn’t sound like it would be an appealing option to you (or anyone). This being said, it is important to remember that there is really no “formula” for getting into HBS or MBA programs generally. Schools are looking to admit highly unique individuals who tell different sorts of stories and who will leave their schools to be high-impact players in the…

The Research A comprehensive survey of Harvard Business School graduates—men and women—suggests that the conventional wisdom about women and leadership needs to be rethought. Some Findings Men and women start out with similar goals, which are adjusted over time—but men are likelier to achieve them. Few women are “opting out, ” but men and women alike believe that women advance more slowly because they prioritize family over career.

Other HBS Acceptance Rate Insights The round you apply in does have an impact on your chance of being accepted at HBS
