MBA News: Harvard Crimson Offers Admissions Stats

In an article in this morning’s Harvard Crimson, HBS’s Director of Admissions, Dierdre Leopold, offers some admissions stats that should be of interest to those who follow “all things HBS”:

– application volumes rose by 14.5% during the last admissions cycle 
– 8500 applications were received this year, second only to the 10,000+ received in 2004
– 320 undergraduates applied this year
– 21 undergraduates were given offers (“direct admits”) and 15 were offered deferred admission
