    Good Score: 650+
    Harvard University Score Requirement: 720



Obviously, there are students who score around 750 and still get rejected by Harvard University, the best Business School. The simple reason behind this is the lack of proper application and planning. Perhaps the thing which is critical is experience. One should have a minimum experience of 2 years, more experience reflects better chances of getting a better university.

You can compensate your experience with better profile. A great CV, application, SOP, LOR, etc, is a lethal weapon which can get you a good college.

Some universities also have another round of Personal or Telephonic Interview. Well, you can also strengthen your position by cracking the interview
