Is Wharton actually better than Harvard at the moment?
orjanello
started Apr 29, 2024 |
StuartHE
replied Apr 29
I'm asking based on comments I've read on this and I'd like to hear if anyone has any valuable insights here. Wharton has come out higher than in many rankings in the last few years. How accurate of a reflection of reality would you say this is? What may be the reasons for Harvard to sink below it?...

Online Harvard courses for pre-MBA prep

Online MBA
I'm an interviewer at LBS. We've started to recommend the HBSP courses http://hbsp.harvard.edu/list/online-courses to admitted candidates whose GMAT quant score is on the low side and who need to prepare a little. It might suit other folk, so I though I'd share the recommendation.
