what's the requirement for getting into harvard for a master degree in economy major?

Question

GPA?GMAT?recommendation letter?

Answer 1

It wouldn't be the GMAT, that's for business school. You would need to take the GRE, which is another standardized test also offered though the ETS (Educational Testing Service, they also do the GMAT and SATs).

After that, try to get into the Harvard Grad program. Harvard doesn't have a "minimum GPA" requirements, but the higher the GPA is always the better, as well as a high GRE score. I'm sure that the application also requires 2-3 letters of recommendations, which are usually teachers/professors or any bosses that you have worked under (or currently work for).

There are also most likely essays that need to be submitted for the exam. If you've done any type of research work in the economics field, that would help plenty.

As a side note, also, not to discourage you, but I had a friend that her uncle was an alumni from Harvard Law and donated enough money to have a building named after him. My friend also had spectaclar grades and did excellent on the LSAT (the standardized test for law schools), but even with all that clout was not accepted. So, apparently, having relatives that are alumni doesn't really help either.

Answer 2

All applicants are required to take either the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) or the General Test of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) in time for the results to reach the HBS Doctoral Programs Office by December 15, 2006. There are no exceptions to this requirement. Please note that the admissions committee prefers applicants take the GMAT, when possible. Successful candidates generally have test scores in the 90th percentile.

Scores must be from a test taken no earlier than January 1, 2002 for Fall 2007 enrollment.

Answer 3

The top Economics programs do not accept students who want a master's degree. They only accept PhD students. They will grant them a master's when certain requirements are met -- but it is really just a booby prize for those who fail to complete the PhD.

Harvard is no exception. They only accept about 5% of those who apply. The average quantitative score on the GREs is 796/800. You can safely assume that almost every student admitted had a 3.7 GPA or above.
