For Harvard Extension School, do you take the admissions requirement courses first?

Just a heads up, 
if anyone was thinking about taking one of the poetry courses before finishing their undergrad, 
it won't count towards your master's from Harvard Extension if you do.
I received an email this morning that mentioned any course taken before your undergrad conferral will not count.

Yeah, that is one of the unfortunate things about the graduate program at HES. Have they told you anything about the HES grant? I've been trying to find out more about it, but I might just bite the bullet and send them an email. It offers a 50% reduction in tuition for the Fall and Spring semester, as well as a free course over the summer. You have to be admitted student and its need-based, but I haven't found anything else out about it.

If you're doing the Finance or Management ALM, you can take the CORe program before undergrad conferral in order to get into the program faster. They offer CORe for $400 if you're eligible for Pell.
