All applications are due at 12 noon EST on the day of the deadline. If submitted after 12 noon, applications will be considered in the following round.
The 2012-2013 HBS essays are below:

2. Tell us about something you wish you had done better. (400 words)
In addition to the two required essays, applicants must also respond to a brief career essay, posed in HBS’s 2012-2013 online application. After selecting a target post-MBA industry and function, candidates must answer the following question:

New this year, applicants invited to interview at HBS will be expected to complete and submit a written reflection in the 24 hours following their interviews. The question will read, “You’ve just had your HBS interview. Tell us about it. How well did we get to know you?” and will have no word limit. Those candidates invited to interview will be provided with specific instructions concerning this final reflection.
For more information, visit HBS’s admissions website.
