The Admissions Team helps African applicants prepare for the HBS admissions journey. They offer resume support, interview prep, and guidance rooted in lived experience. Their work makes the application process more accessible and less intimidating. By hosting outreach events and collaborating with partners, they help expand the pipeline of strong African candidates. Each year, they welcome a new group of students into ABC and help ensure that African representation at HBS continues to grow with confidence and purpose.
