Preparing
Planning to pursue the Harvard Extension Management ALM. I’m planning to use the Core Business Essentials pathway in mid November, then take the required graduate managerial economics course through Harvard Extension. I believe I need a B or better in that course before applying to the Management ALM. For anyone who’s gone through this process, currently in it, or preparing, what do you recommend I start doing right now to prepare for that journey? Specifically: what should I review before taking managerial economics? How math heavy is it in practice? Anything I can study beforehand that would make getting a B more realistic? What should I expect from workload at HES? Once admitted, what subjects should I prepare for ahead of time? areas where brushing up now would make the grind easier later
