Harvard Business School Offers Visits to Second-Year Classes in September

With the Round 1 deadline for the Class of 2014 just 60 days away, Harvard Business School (HBS) has opted to open up a small number of second-year classes to visitors in September. The traditional first-year class visit program doesn’t begin until October, after Round 1 applicants will have submitted their applications.

“We have always focused our class visit program on the first-year classroom,” wrote HBS Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid in a post to her Director’s Blog. “The downside of this is that our faculty like to let the new students settle in a bit before welcoming visitors. That doesn’t dovetail very nicely with our October 3rd application deadline,” she continued.

To give prospective Round 1 applicants a chance to see an HBS class in order to assess whether they would like to apply, HBSwill open up a limited number of spaces in second-year classes for visitors in September. “I think visitors will find this a great opportunity to see the case method in action – and get a glimpse of our second-year students,” Leopold wrote.

Of course, the entire HBS second year is an elective curriculum, versus the required curriculum that makes up the first year, and visitors to these classes will not see students in the 90-person sections that comprise the first-year classes. For applicants to later rounds, first-year class visits will resume on October 3rd.

Look for detailed instructions on how to arrange a second-year class visit on the HBS website this week, Leopold wrote. A fall schedule for information sessions and campus tours will be posted at the same time, she added.
