HBS 2+2 profile evaluation

by khyatis » Tue Mar 06, 2012 6:27 am
Hey,
I'm an engineering student and study in a reputed college in India.
the following is my profile:

1. GPA-9.2/10, topper of my stream
2. internship at CISCO, got a PPO from the same
3. Prefect of my school
4. Marketing and publicity head of a local event management group and organized to 3 events
5. worked with 2 NGOs and been an active participant in around 10-15 of their projects
6. published a research paper

I gave my GMAT yesterday and got a really poor score of 640(Q-48, V-30)!
I'm not sure if I even stand a slightest chance of being considered...

Please provide your comments about my chances and should I even consider applying in the third round of HBS 2+2... The other colleges that I'm considering are Yale SSP, IESE YTP, LBS MIM nad NUS Msc in Financial Engineering...


Thanks,
Khyati

Being a Topper, and having such amazing grades form an Indian university, as well as your "political" involvement in the school are a very good start. Your GMAT however will kill your profile off the bat. Especially for 2+2, the GMAT is essentially one of the MAIN points for consideration of your application, because you haven't really worked yet! So you need a GREAT GMAT to be considered. And with your grades, I think you should be capable. Put all your energy into breaking at least a 700, if not 720.
