Admissions
Students currently enrolled in the HMS MD Program can apply to HBS during their second year at HMS and in the second of two rounds of HBS admissions. A student must first be admitted to the standard, two year MBA degree program, after which they will be considered for endorsement by HMS to join the five year, joint degree program. Endorsement decisions will be based on a student's performance while at HMS.
For all other applicants not currently enrolled at either HBS or HMS, please note that each school will maintain its separate admissions timetables and requirements. Such applicants are required to apply to HMS by the October deadline, and to HBS in round 1 or round 2.
