(申請快捷： 台灣學生創R1錄取HBS/Stanford歷史記錄!!!!)

昨晚半夜兩點, 酒醉的台灣男學生突然從日本打電話給我: "Kevin抱歉我超醉, 但還是一定要三更半夜打給你..."

過半小時, 又接到巴西女學生簡訊: "Sorry Kevin I know it's super late, but can I call you, it's urgent!" 還是女生較有禮貌, 至少先問我是否還醒著才打過來 😊 結果...

兩位學生雙雙錄取Harvard Business School (HBS) !!!!!

MBA雙巨頭HBS和Stanford昨天放榜了, 而我們M7 Admissions的台灣學生竟然在今年由於COVID申請人數及競爭度都最高最艱難的情況下， 創下R1歷史新高，總共三位台灣學生錄取HBS, 其中一位雙錄取HBS和Stanford, 成為歷年台灣第一次在R1就有人錄取both HBS and Stanford, 也是台灣R1錄取HBS人數新高!!!!

我常被申請者問: Kevin, 今年申請M7是不是超難，因為不但申請人數爆漲而還有去年因COVID defer的人卡掉很多位子?

其實在HBS/Stanford還沒公布結果前我就回答, 與其說今年是Year of COVID, 不如說今年是Year of Superstars, 因為今年超優秀的學生們, 不管在台灣或別國家, 真是太多太多了！

只看台灣這邊, 除了HBS/Stanford創錄取新高, 其他三所已公布R1結果的M7 (CBS, Booth and Kellogg) 都至少各有四位台灣學生錄取，而Columbia更飙到七人. 其中有四位台灣學生各已錄取至少三所M7, 而Wharton/MIT下週公布後可能飙到各錄取五所以上.

但大家不用担心: 一旦這些超級明星決定了他們要去那所學校，我一定呼籲他們趕快放棄其他錄取學校, 才不會影響R2大家的申請名額.
大家看了R1申請結果也許好奇, 那R2申請者也這麼優秀嗎？沒錯, 今年真是Year of Superstars, 在這preview 幾位背景較突出的R2學生:

兩位美國的Navy Seal (海軍特種部隊)
伊朗國內Uber創辦人
美國最大家族投資基金Managing Director
Miss India (印度小姐)

但大家也不要想, 天啊其他申請者都三頭六臂我怎麼辦?! The reality is: 錄取M7學校的大部分還都是 “普通人,” 像R1錄取的這些優秀台灣學生, 也沒什麼特別關係或身分地位, 完完全全是按部就班靠自己的努力達成目標. 希望他們的成功帶給大家更多的鼓勵, 毫無畏懼向最高學府挑戰. 同時也一定要超級感謝我們在台灣的最佳搭檔A2 GMAT 和AKAD, 一起為台灣學生的未來打拼努力.

大家R2加油！

恭喜Mr. H錄取HBS
恭喜Mr. L錄取HBS

What's the actual value of an HBS education? Sharing the thoughts and insights of a former client of ours who just graduated from HBS. Enjoy!

Educating leaders who make a difference in the world has been a hard challenge for most higher education institutions. Harvard Business School (HBS) has taken this challenge as its core mission.

This coming Friday evening, we are delighted and excited to invite Ray Loa, a management consultant from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and a columnist who writes about the country's strategy, to Cal Berkeley to share with us on his learning experience in HBS MBA program and his take on leadership education.

Hi all! For those applicants who are interested in meeting the final deadline (7/24) of INSEAD's 2020 January take, INSEAD has indicated that even if you don't have a strong GMAT score now, you can still submit the application by 7/24 and then update shortly after with a higher GMAT score. If you plan to do this, INSEAD asks that you indicate this plan on your application.

Good luck everyone!

Kevin
