Does anyone know if the recommendation letters are pdf uploads or text fields for HBS and GSB. Wondering if my recommenders can go over the word limit in a PDF vs being restricted in one of those text boxes.

HBS - text fields
GSB - upload document

But I would follow the word limit or be close to it

I wouldn’t worry about the HBS length limit. One of mine was way over, and it didn’t cause any problems.

Thanks. This is good to know

Thank you.

Sorry follow up here, someone just said it was pdf for HBS. Are you fully confident?

Not last year’s application cycle but maybe it’s changed

It rubbed me the wrong way and although these comments are less frequent now than when I first started my career, I still hear them and it’s bothersome.

Do you think an MBA is only really worth the exit options immediately post mba?

I just hear everyone obsessed with rankings but tbh in 10 years, outside say Harvard, they will have changed. My Alma mater undergrad was a top 20 school that has fallen for example. I chose it because it was the best in my local area but who cares given i don't live in that geographic local anymore.

Other schools that I didn't even consider have risen up.
