TRUE NORTHMBA ADMISSIONS COACHING

HBS + HARVARD KENNEDY SCHOOL

Business ambition.
Public purpose.

HBS + HKS Joint Degree Coaching is a specialty practice at True North MBA. The joint-degree process asks you to explain why your goals require both business and public-policy training, with applications that work individually and together.

YOUR STORY, IN FOCUS

Two perspectives. One clear purpose.

01

The problem that matters

Name the issues you care about and connect them to experiences that have shaped your commitment.

02

The reason for both

Articulate how business and public-policy study could contribute to the work you hope to do. Make the connection specific to your direction.

03

A coherent narrative

Develop a consistent personal story while giving each application its own thoughtful focus and attention.

PLAN WITH CARE

A thoughtful application.
An informed process.

Use the school’s official guidance for current deadlines, eligibility, program details, and application requirements.
