Hey everyone,
I've been planning on going to law school (applying to HSY and Columbia) and had posted on Top Law Schools and had a few people ask why I wasn't interested in the 2+2 program at Harvard.
... Since I have time to consider my options I thought I'd see what you all thought and if it would be a viable option (please forgive my ignorance on all things MBA related, have never really looked into it before).
GPA: 3.8 (3.85 by the time I graduate).
GMAT: Haven't done it yet but did get 176 on my LSAT and did perfectly outside of logic games so with some hard work I think I'll do quite well.
UI: A small Canadian university. Very middle of the road.
WE: summer after freshman year I moved to NYC and worked at Lazard (large asset management firm), summer after second year again I moved to NYC for the summer and worked at a small hedge fund (billions in AUM but only 20+- employees, so much closer experience to the action). This summer I'm trying for Goldman and if not will be back at the smaller hedge fund.
Other stuff: I'm non-URM, a dual citizen (Bermudian-Canadian), fluent in Mandarin conversationally (writing and reading is coming, but my goal was always to be conversational not to know how to write and read it). Now a few months into Arabic. No big claim to fame in terms of sports, national/international achievements, etc. Member of habitat for humanity, SPCA, etc.
I've looked into the 2+2 program a bit. I'm a business admin major so it seems that's a point against me although there's still quite a few folks who get admitted that come form that background.
Given the above stats (I know it's hard without actual GMAT scores) do I stand a reasonable chance? Any feedback or more info is very much appreciated.
Cheers
