Harvard uni and peru state uni.

Hello there!

I was just wondering if I got my degree in Peru state university will there be any chance for me to pursue a degree in business in Harvard uni. or even Yale ?

or not always depending on the regional accreditation ...or is there any better distance learning universities that are accepted by Harvard or Yale ..of course I am thinking of a Bachelors in Business.

Regards

 

I would say that you will need more than fantastic grades to enter such universities. Other aspects such as personal achievements count towards entering such universities.

 

Many Harvard graduate programs only admit a small fraction of their applicants, sometimes less than 10% of them.

A bachelors degree with a very strong grade-average from Peru State will probably meet Harvard's published admissions requirements for undergraduate education. It's conceivable that Harvard requires certain coursework that Peru doesn't offer though, so you would have to carefully read the appropriate Harvard graduate catalog.

The problem then is being in that top 10% of Harvard applicants.

Why are you thinking about attending Peru State? For that matter, why are you considering distance learning at all? Why won't you be studying full-time, on-campus, at an elite highly-selective undergraduate college known for top academics? Many of your fellow Harvard applicants will have precisely that kind of background.

What are you going to be DOING exactly, while you are studying part-time by distance-learning at Peru? Will you actually be working in the field in which you propose to do your graduate work? If you are doing something that's responsible, educational and cool, something that will capture the imagination of your admissions committee, then you could probably re-spin the fact that you did your undergraduate work by distance-learning from a perhaps-fatal weakness into a point of comparative strength in your favor.

(I've heard about an individual who studied Tibetan language (becoming fluent) and Buddhist philosophy (close textual study in the original languages along with extensive meditation practice) from the monks at a shedra in Nepal, who was happily accepted into Columbia University's Ph.D. program in religious studies.)

I don't think that there's ANY university out there whose graduates are automatically assured admission into the most selective graduate programs. The admissions committees will want to know a lot more about what an applicant's background is and about what they've been doing.

 

With a high grade point average and an extremely high GMAT school, you might have a shot at HBS, and follow in the footsteps of the greatest president since Ronald Reagan: George W. Bush. Do you know any politically powerful alums or large donors to the school who could write letters of recommendation?

That said, what are your backups... There are many, many fine business schools that train graduates for CXO and board positions. Still, there are are many other business schools that train graduates with more practical skill sets for middle and senior management positions.

 

I think that Dave's right. I've got the impression that you have to have an almost perfect set of credentials to get into HBS or the other schools in that same category. Could it be done from Peru State? I'm sure it could but you should probably have a solid plan B just in case.
