HBS Round 3 Deadlines: Queries answered

In her post on HBS Admissions Blog, HBS Director of Admissions and Financial Aid, Dee Leopold answered the queries that has been enquired by many round 3 applicants

She said," The March 11 deadline is coming up soon and we've been getting inquiries from candidates trying hard to get applications ready for submission in this final round." Dee further informed, "In trying to balance fairness with flexibility, here's where we come out:

• * No extensions on the GMAT - you need to be able to submit your score in order to submit the application. We don't need to receive the official score report by March 11. If you re-take the GMAT after the March 11 deadline, we cannot consider the new score.
• * Written applications - must be submitted online by March 11 - maybe not 5pm Boston time on the dot, but certainly on that date.
• * Recommendations - a little more flexibility here. We'll accept online recommendations through Monday, March 16."

She added,"we understand and appreciate the uncertainty in the world right now. We are trying to be responsive while making sure we have time to carefully consider all applications and get decisions out on time."
