You’ll pick your section officers during the first month at HBS. I’ll comment on the utility of some positions later (Career reps are useless in my opinion) but I will say that one of the MOST IMPORTANT ones is that of “Ed Rep” – this person will be the main liason between you, HBS professors, teaching assistants, exam proctors – everything related to academics, basically.
Your ed rep will update you on when study sessions are, what to bring for certain cases/simulations, the feedback that professors may have on the class performance, and countless other things. I was blessed to have an amazing Ed Rep my first year at HBS. It greatly eased the section’s transition into the case method (which can be rough for many) and definitely made reviewing for finals a lot easier.
So pick your ed rep with caution, and have high expectations for him/her during the ENTIRE YEAR – some sections have had issues with their ed reps and have replaced them in years past.
