In order to help students achieve their dream, Harbus, the News Corporation of the Harvard Business School, has come up with The unofficial Harvard Business School Interview Guide.
La Keisha Nicole Landrum, the Chief Operating Officer at Harbus says, “This book provides thoughtful responses for each interview question, and allows the prospective student to think critically about what the interviewer is trying to understand about the candidate. It also enables the student to be strategic with how they answer questions to make sure what they want to get out of the interview.”
The unofficial Harvard Business School Interview Guide
According to the Harbus sources, this book has been one of the important reference that students used to prepare for their HBS interview. The first year and second year students at the Harvard Business School, along with a small staff of members in the HBS community, are involved in the compilation of the guide.

Students can purchase this 69-page book for $65, from www.harbus.org.
A cheat sheet to the HBS interview

Photo: HarbusThis book allows students to put their best selves forward and prepare properly for one of the most important interviews in their career. “Our goal with this book is a labour of love from current MBA students to future ones. We, like most prospective students, know that applying to B-school is putting together a whole package. This is just one (albeit a very important) part of the process,” said La Keisha.
Referring to the book as a cheat sheet to the HBS interview, La Keisha said, “We have asked Harvard Business School students what questions they were asked and how they prepared for them. You can't find that anywhere else.”

Praising the efforts of the Harbus team in bringing out a book such as this, the admitted students in HBS reviewed the book as an invaluable resource for interview preparation.
They also say that it is well written, up-to-date, and covers nearly every question asked during interview.
