What are the requirements to get into Graduate School at Harvard?
From Harvard Web Site
The graduate schools at Harvard, such as the Law School, Medical School, and Business School, do not generally accept applications from students who have not already have received four-year Bachelor's degree. You will first need to complete your undergraduate studies. But even if you are still in high school, you can still browse the admissions information for any of the graduate schools

There is no single office at Harvard University that handles admissions for all students to all programs. Instead, each school maintains its own admissions office and specialized staff to meet the needs of their prospective students. Below is a listing of admissions offices for the following programs:
Undergraduate Graduate programs Professional Education programs Continuing Education Summer School Programs
Visit the HARVARD UNIVERSITY WEBSITE found in the Related Link below and go to the Admissions & Financial Aid link.
The following paraphrased cut & pasted excerpts, excluding various and sundry editorial comments and licenses, are from that link.
1.0/1.4 GENERAL 2.0/2.8 ADMISSIONS 3.0/3.1 FINANCIAL AID
1.0/1.4 GENERAL
1.0 Harvard is America's oldest college.
1.1 Harvard, is VERY selective and estimated the cost for tuition, fees, room, board and personal expenses halls in 2004-05 was approximately $42,450 plus an amount for travel depending on your home state.
1.3 The Harvard-Yale football clash is called "the big game" by many of the world's movers and shakers. Harvard (and Yale) has won the national championship
1.4 Harvard's sports teams are "The Crimson".
2.0/2.7 ADMISSIONS ×¢ 2.1 Harvard's Admissions Committee says that it recognizes that schools vary by size, academic program and grading policies, so Harvard does not have rigid grade requirements. Harvard does seek students who achieve at a high level, and most admitted students rank in the top 10-15% of their graduating classes.
2.2 Harvard states that here is no formula for gaining admission to Harvard. Academic accomplishment in high school is important, but the Admissions Committee also considers many other criteria, such as community involvement, leadership and distinction in extracurricular activities, and work experience.
2.3 Harvard relies on teachers, counselors, headmasters and alumni/ae to share information with them about applicants' strength of character, their ability to overcome adversity and other personal qualities - all of which play a part in the Admissions Committee's decisions.
2.4 Harvard states that each admission case is different. Harvard seeks to enroll well-rounded students as well as a well-rounded first-year class. Thus, some students distinguish themselves for admission due to their unusual academic promise through experience or achievements in study or research. Other students present compelling cases because they are more "well rounded" - they have contributed in many different ways to their schools or communities. Still other successful applicants are "well lopsided," with demonstrated excellence in one particular endeavor - academic, extracurricular or otherwise. Some students bring perspectives formed by unusual personal circumstances or experiences. Like all colleges, Harvard seeks to admit the most interesting, able and diverse class possible.
2.5 Harvard says that it has worked hard for many years to learn about schools around the world. Harvard's careful study of different schools, curricula and educational systems benefits, too, from information Harvard receives directly each year from schools, extensive personal communication with school personnel and the interview reports Harvard receives from its alumni/ae, who meet thousands of applicants to the College each year. Harvard states that it can always learn more, so Harvard welcomes information students think might be helpful to the Admissions Committee in understanding their accomplishments in their school communities.
2.6 Harvard says that it considers non-required test scores and that they value predicted A-level and IB results along with any information that helps form a complete picture of an applicant's academic interests and strengths. HOWEVER, RESULTS FROM THESE EXAMINATIONS CANNOT SUBSTITUTE FOR HARVARD'S REQUIRED ADMISSIONS TESTING. ALL APPLICANTS MUST SUBMIT THE RESULTS OF THE SAT I or ACT AS WELL AS THREE SAT II SUBJECT TESTS.
2.7 Letters of recommendation from teachers who know the applicant well and who have taught him or her in academic subjects (preferably in the final two years of secondary school) most often provide Harvard the most valuable testimony. Teachers should tell Harvard about a candidate's significant non-academic interests and personal qualities, as well as academic potential.
2.8 Harvard says that most applications are read by two or more members of the Admissions Committee, and are considered very carefully in a series of committee meetings where a majority vote is required for admission. The entire process requires several months.
3.0/3.1 FINANCIAL AID
3.0 Harvard says that more than two-thirds of Harvard undergraduates receive some form of financial aid. All Harvard-administered financial aid is said to be given on the basis of need as determined by the Financial Aid Office, using need analysis to determine the expected parent and student contributions. All interested students are encouraged to apply for admission regardless of their family's financial situation. The Financial Aid Office will tell you what aid is available and only then will you really know what it will cost to attend Harvard.
3.1 Proper documentation of a great number of items is necessary when requesting Financial Aid.

WARNING!!!
When choosing a college or university, make sure the institution has a regional accreditation. With a regional accreditation you can be assured the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. Below I have listed the six accrediting agencies and their geographical areas of responsibility. I am disclosing the below so you do not become a victim of educational scams, and institutions that are nothing more than diploma mills, where they are eager to take your money for a degree that is worthless. Make sure the institution is accredited by one of following responsible agencies.
Regional Accreditation Agencies
· Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools - Educational institutions in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands, as well as schools for American children in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
· New England Association of Schools and Colleges - Educational institutions in the six New England states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont).
· North Central Association of Colleges and Schools - Educational institutions in Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, New Mexico, South Dakota, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
· Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities - Postsecondary institutions (colleges and universities) in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington.
· Western Association of Schools and Colleges - Educational institutions in California, Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, Micronesia, Palau, and Northern Marianas Islands.
· Southern Association of Colleges and Schools - Educational institutions in Virginia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee and Texas.
Why do you feel it is important to pursue additional study?
Some jobs such as digging ditches need no training or education. At the present time almost every job that pays more than the minimum wage requires education, training and experience. At any level of a person's education, one is likely to want a better job than he has, and the way to get a better job is to have more education, training and experience.
How much do you get paid for a master's degree?
Salary, earning potential, and marketability are not only determined by the type of field you are in and the degree you possess. It depends on your position within that field, the institution you work for, your experience, expertise, personal abilities, critical thinking skills, problem solving abilities, dedication and commitment toward ones work, and more. Thus, salary is not so much dependent on the type of degree as much as it is dependent on the person who holds the degree.
What is difference between a correspondence MBA and a regular MBA?
Neither one is better than the other, it's a question of which one is best for you. However, this would depend on your specific career goals and objectives and which one you feel will satisfy your personal needs.
Can you do msc with maths after btech?
It's possible to get into an undergraduate engineering course with a level 3 BTEC in the relevant subject.
But with these kinds of qualifications, you have to check which universities accept them as BTEC although a Diploma in BTEC is worth 3 A levels (A* to C) it is a vocational qualification. You may not be able to get into the most prestigious universities but if you can find one that will take BTECs then make sure you apply.
Another option would be a distance learning university such as the Open Universities as they accept a wide range of people.
Yes you can. Individuals who pursue an MBA come from a variety of backgrounds and fields of study. Typically, at the very most you may be required to complete some prerequisite course work if not done so already. Completing an MBA will open many doors of opportunity for you on many levels, in many areas.

How do you write your signature when pursuing a masters?
You should not include your MBA degree in your signature block. According to http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2004/10/18/8188076/index.htm, including MBA or PhD in your email signature or business card signifies low self-esteem.
How many credits do you need for a masters degree?
Depends on the type of degree. I have a MS in criminal justice and my program was 48 credits. Different degrees have different program lengths, therefore different amount of credits are needed.
What are the education requirements for a medical research scientist?
Well, I'm not a MSTP student, which is the acronym for Medical Scientist Training Program which is a federally funded school program to promote MD/PhD combined education. Either these programs, or MD/PhD programs from a different (non funded) school are essentially the same. As far a requirements go, they vary from school to school, but most all of them are the same as regular MD schools, but MSTP or MD/PhD programs place more emphasis on research as opposed to clinical volunteering experience. Also, the letters of reference should reflect an ability to think in terms of a scientist (scientific methods) vs. a clinician (deduction). Scholastically, the combined degree students are usually as good if not better than regular MD students, if only because the schools do not admit as many of these students an so they can be more selective. Along those lines, the MSTP and some of the MD/PhD programs provide paid tuition and a stipend for students, making these programs even more competetive.

http://sciencecareers.sciencemag.org/career_development/previous_issues/articles/2660/md_phd_resources/
If you want to work in the pharmaceutical or biotech industries, you don't need to have an MD/PhD or even a PhD. To work as a medicinal chemist, you would need a BS/MS/PhD in organic chemistry. Most biologists in the industry have a BS/MS/PhD in biochemistry or cell biology.
Good luck.
Why do you need rich vocabulary during communication?
The more words you know, the better you are able to communicate. Good communication is important for getting along with other people, for learning new things, and for passing information back and forth.
What does the word page layout mean?
Page Layout just means how the information, whether text or pictures or whater, looks on your piece of paper. For instance, you can have a page layout with 1" margins or a page layout with 2" margins. It is just how the page looks with the information on the page.
What is the need of segmentation in microprocessor 8086?
At this point you may be wondering why Intel designed the 8086 family devices to access memory using the segment: offset approach rather than accessing memory directly with 20-bit addresses. The segment: offset, scheme requires only a 16-bit number to represent the base address for a segment, and only a 16-bit offset to access any location in a segment. This means that the 8086 has to manipulate and store only 16-bit quantities instead of 20-bit quantities. This makes for an easier interface with 8- and 16-bit-wide memory boards and with the 16-bit registers in the 8086.
The second reason for segmentation has to do with the type of microcomputer in which an 8086-family CPU is likely to be used. In a timesharing system, several users share a CPU. The CPU works on one user's program for perhaps 20 ms, then works on the next user's program for 20 ms. After working 20 ms for each of the other users, the CPU comes back to the first user's program again. Each time the CPU switches from one user's program to the next, it must access a new section of code and new sections of data. Segmentation makes this switching quite easy. Each user's program can be assigned a separate set of logical segments for its code and data. The user's program will contain offsets or displacements from these segment bases. To change from one user's program to a second user's program, all that the CPU has to do is to reload the four segment registers with the segment base addresses assigned to the second user's program. In other words, segmentation makes it easy to keep users' programs and data separate from one another, and segmentation makes it easy to switch from one user's program to another user's program.

Agree with Natalie Gulbis and Paula Creamer. Morgan Pressel is pretty though but her body's not really in shape as the first two mentioned.
What is future scenario and scope of pharmacognosy?
This is precisely the question that was addressed at the Asilomar conference, (similar in spirit to the "TED" conference in Monterey with regard to computers and technology in general). The outcome of Asilomar was the self-regulation of this industry with a set of guidelines that were tied to rules for federal funding of research.
The scope of biotechnology is huge. The future scenarios are probably far beyond our wildest imagination. A few examples: - There are artists and architects collaborating with biochemists and geneticists to theorize about the possibility of creating living houses for humans. These houses would be made of living plants genetically engineered to be perfect habitats living symbiotically with humans, including cool or warm climate controls, plumbing (fresh water and waste digestion), food provision, and light energy capture, storage, and production. Different textures, colors, and functions are unlimited in theory. - Researchers have recently isolated the genes related to schizophrenia and are seeking funding for research leading to the investigation of a cure or treatment. - Scientists are racing to save the honeybee from a viral plague that is eradicating it from the face of North America and threatening our supply of honey. They are looking into the DNA of the virus hoping to stop it in its tracks.
