Little to none for someone who can't structure a sentence/question correctly.

His SAT score was 1206 (566 verbal, 640 math).\n\nHis cumulative undergraduate GPA at Yale was 2.35.\n\nGraduated from Yale University with a degree in history, and then earned an MBA from Harvard University.\n\nTraditionally, one has to have a 3.0 GPA to get a Master's degree.  I'm sure Harvard has that type of standard.

i am not exactly sure but there is probally some kind of formula.  Like class size, test scores, incidents stuff like that.  Also the amount of graduates that get jobs there is probbally a myriad of things that go into it.  A schools are probbally more Ivy league also   ie more money and prestigous

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.

You should research the schools to find out what your chances are. Most school websites give information about their acceptance rates, diversity break down and what areas their students come from. You can see which of the categories you fit into.\n\nBut if you know you meet all their requirements, you should know that you have a chance of getting in. It's also good if you show a record of balancing extracirricular activities with school. Community service is also a plus, but they'll be able to tell if you do it at the last minute just to get into their school.\n\nGood luck!

Well, the best place to get this information is from the London School of Economics. Here are links to the school for undergraduate and graduate admissions:\n\nUndergraduate: http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/undergraduateAdmissions/\n\nGraduate:\nhttp://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/graduateAdmissions/

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

MBA would absolutely give you almost all the opportunities in all kinds of corporation to be hired easily esp. when you have taken it from some famous business schools like Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, MIT:Sloan, UCBerkely-Haas,etc. Literally speaking, it would be your "golden key" to open a "golden box". That's why the competition tobe admitted in that course is also a challenge one.

I'm quite sure Harvard offers one. \n\nGood luck.

I was accepted to Harvard, but couldn't afford it!\n\nGPA 4.0\nACT 29\nI don't remember what my SAT score was (I took both ACT & SAT).

It is quite a gamble applying to Harvard becuse they only admit a small percentage of their applicants. If you do want to try, you'll need very good grades, very good test scores, good references, extra curricular activities and write a very good essay. Don't get your heart broken if you are not admitted. There are MANY very good schools out there and truthfully, Harvard is just a name. There are several really good books written about HArvard that may make you change your mind about even wanting to go there.\n\nRead Privilege: Harvard and the Education of the Ruling Class \nby Ross Gregory Douthat \n\nand then read Looking Beyond the Ivy League: Finding the College That's Right for You -- by Loren Pope and Colleges That Change Lives : 40 Schools You Should Know About Even If You're Not a Straight-A Student -- by Loren Pope

I graduated from harvard last year so I can answer this question.\nThere's really no one formula for getting into Harvard.\nSo many talented and qualified people apply, and they simply can't choose everyone, so I think in the end a lot of the admissions decisions are luck of the draw.\nOne thing I think sets Harvard (and some other private schools apart) from state schools is that Harvard really does care about more than just your scores and grades, as unbelieveable as that may sound.\nThe truth is that nearly everyone at Harvard had straight As in high school, lots of AP classes, and very high SAT scores (1500-1600). \nSo Harvard looks beyond those numbers and tries to select "Interesting" people. They want a real cross section of society. They want people who come from different backgrounds (not just ethnic, but religious, nationality, and even geographic diversity within the United States). They look for people with different talents and skills.\n\nSo if you are a tuba-playing student with a 1500 SAT and you live in Idaho, you probably have a better chance of getting in than if you are a basketball playing student from New York with a 1600 SAT score, simply because the Idaho student is more unique.\n\nBut as I said before, there's no formula.

You should have a pretty decent chance, assuming your SAT/ACT scores are good and you've taken some AP/IB classes.\n\nThat said, showing interest in a school is great but you should never act like that college is your only option; colleges don't like to admit people they perceive as desperate.  Mailing list sign-ups count for almost nothing (if I could get accepted for everybody's mailing list that I'm on, I could probably attend over half the universities and colleges in America) and really, interviews are the only concrete way to show significant interest (and they also can gauge your personality and interests).

A 3.5 GPA is probably way too low for most applicants to get in.  Remember, the average GPA and SAT numbers are generally lower than what is required for most applicants to have a realistic chance of getting in to these type of schools (unless you're in a special situation that offers some advantage).  The average GPA and SAT numbers for these schools is dragged down by athletes, legacies, those with connections, etc.  I would say for someone without any specific admission advantage, a 3.8 GPA and 1500 SAT or higher is more realistic to be competitive.  Class rank may be more applicable than GPA as well.  My brother had a 3.8 GPA, 1570 SAT's, and was a collegiate caliber track athlete and got rejected from MIT.

It opens doors -- but success is up to you.\n\nAn academic study a few years ago tracked individuals who were admitted to Harvard.  It found that they were more successful, on average, than those who were not admitted.\n\nThe interesting thing about the article is that those who were admitted but went elsewhere were just as successful as those who were admitted and attended.  This would indicate that the answer to your question is "Yes."
