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.

No, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes author) completed his Bachelor's of Medicine and Master's of Surgery degrees in 1881; he marked the occasion by drawing a sketch of himself waving his diploma with the caption "Licensed to kill." That was where Ian Fleming got the phrase.

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

It depends on what your major will be, and if you want a master's degree, and if you don't want t o take any classes but the ones required for your degree.  Try this, go to www.collegetuition's.edu\nor use a college name www.harvard.edu and then go to  where you see tuitions, cashiers, or registrars office.  Be sure to be sitting down when the screen comes up, Universities are more expensive and I have seen some that require you to have health insurance, and fees for things you will never use.  Good luck,\non-line may be the way to go.  Most colleges have classes on what is called WebCT or Blackboard.  Good Luck !!!  Ask about help with funding, depending on your grades and major the government may help, but deadlines are coming up for the spring semester,   HURRY

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! :)

You need to contact the University Bookstore. They will be happy to tell you. Harvard University will not respond to that question.

He studied History & Philosophy at Harvard in the Fall of 2001.  At one time he wanted to double major in History & Theater.  He graduated from Harvard but I'm not sure what year.\n\nIn 2005 he was in the movie Tilt-A-Whirl as Customer #3.  He does voice over work on cartoons.  He has also guest starred on several tv shows such as:  8 Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter, Smallville, The Simpsons, The Tangerine Bear and The Wild Thornberry's.

He did his undergrad at Yale and got an MBA from Harvard. I'm sure his family connections helped him get in, but while I've only heard President Bush talk about business or economics a couple of times, I can tell from my own business and economics training that he knows what he's talking about in those areas. He's just not very well spoken, in general.

Yeah, you can get into Harvard.  It's called tresspassing. :) \n\n\nBut what you could actually do is go to another college, get amazing grades, then apply for graduate school at Harvard.\nGood luck!!

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.

He said something to the effect that if your smart you get to go to college or a university and if not you end up stuck in Iraq.\n\n"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."
