It would be good if anyone can tell me how a 7.5 gpa on a scale of 10 from Anna University,Chennai would be viewed by the adcom.
I am targeting the 2+2 program at HBS.
The only thing I'm worried about is GPA . Gmat is 720 but I'm planning to retake it and my internships are pretty solid.

Please clarify if my GPA is good enough,thanks.

Hi there,
The GPA is not perfect, but if everything else in your profile is exceptional it will be less of an issue. So many people dream about the 2+2 program at HBS but it such a competitive application cycle that you should also consider other options. Do you have a lot of leadership and community work? professional growth beyond your time at school? This is what the school will be looking for. The good thing about applying to the 2+2 program is that you will get a sense of what is required to get into a top MBA early in your career, and can spend the next few years working on it (if you're not at HBS already).
Good luck,
Yael
