How can I apply for postgraduate curse in Harvard University?
I am a German student, and want to attend Harvard University after my Bachelor Graduation. How can I apply for it? And what requirement should I meet?
Have you even looked on the Harvard’s website, it is all there in plain English. If you want to attend Harvard, you are going to be required to do your own, independent research, and finding the information you need to apply to a foreign university is not exactly challenging, at least not for someone who wants to attend Harvard.
Click the link below, select your major and then look at the admission requirements as an international student for your program.
How much starting out salary for a Harvard MBA graduate with no experience ?
Not nearly as much as your classmates with experience, assuming you could even get accepted in the first place. Most people work for 3-5 years before they go back to a top business school, and it shows in their class participation and assignments. And most employers don’t like hiring people with nothing but theoretical knowledge for high-level positions.
What is the difference between Harvard University and Harvard College?
When I major, do I go to Harvard College first?
Harvard College is just the undergraduate college in Harvard University, the other colleges in Harvard University are graduate schools such as Medicine, Law and Business.

In order to go to these universities (well, at least the American ones) you’d need extremely high scores on your SAT. In order to do well on your SAT you’d need to master the English language as well as, if not better than, your own. I’m Mexican (born and raised from age 0 to age 18), so don’t try to tell me it’s impossible. 
Anyway, here is the info you requested:
Harvard: 50,724 US dollars for international students per year.
Yale: 49,800 US dollars for international students per year.
Princeton: 48,580 US dollars for international students per year.
Oxford: I can’t find anything concrete (apparently it varies quite a bit) but much cheaper than American universities. Think of $10,000 or less per year.
I want to get into the Harvard MBA program with a 4.0 GPA and a 730 GMAT, what must I do?
I recently graduated with a 4.0 GPA from a small school and scored a 730 on the GMAT. I plan on apply to business school in 2-3 years. What can I do to increase my chances of getting into a top program like HBS, Kellogg or Stanford?
try to score higher on the GMAT and get some full time work experience.
Small school, big school doesnt matter. You graduated with a 4.0 and that really good. Doesnt really matter where you went to school at this point cuz you already graduated (the name of your school would help you get job opportunities)
What does it take to be a Harvard student?
Well, I’m planning to go to Harvard in University, so I was just wondering what type of students they accept and what I should do to get a better chance of getting in and getting a scholarship! Also, does having an IB program in highschool help?
Money. If you are truly a talented student you will do fine. A lot of students go to places like Harvard and they do not know anything, but because their parents have money they pay for their grades, listen to what I say. If you go to Harvard and you are smart, you will see what I say. A bunch of people who do not do any work, go to these schools and graduate because of the money in their pockets!!!!! Do not get discouraged because of this and rule yourself out because I know that you will do fine and succeed. Yes, any honors program in high school will help your chances of success. Always remember to work and study hard, it pays off and in whatever you do Keep God First and let Him lead.
One Day University Presents: Positive Psychology: The Science of Happiness (Harvard’s Most Popular Course)
Product Description
What is The Tetris Effect and how does it shape the way you see the world? Are we set up to naturally be sympathetic to our fellow humans? Shaw Achor takes us on a fascinating journey through Positive Psychology and examines the difference between happy students and unhappy students, the key to implementing new habits, the principle of Activation Energy and more so you can start living a happier life in “Positive Psychology: The Science of Happiness.” Shawn Achor is the winner of more than a dozen distinguished teaching awards at Harvard University. He is also the Head Teaching Fellow for the most popular course at Harvard, “Positive Psychology,” which is taken by more than 1,000 students per semester and led by Professor Tal Ben-Shahar. Shawn received his B.A. in English from Harvard and a Master’s from Harvard Divinity School in Christian and Buddhist Ethics. Part of his interest in positive psychology stems from a troubling fact: studies have shown that many of Harvard’s undergraduates suffer from depression at some point in their college careers.

I doubt it matters that you are Canadian. I suspect you get less applicants in the spring, but there are probably less spots. Just a guess.
