HBS 2+2

by galacticos » Tue Jun 23, 2009 9:18 am
Ok, here's the deal.

I'm going to be a senior at a good UG (top 15 if you look at USNWR). I've got around a 3.7 degree GPA (around 3.6 if you combine it with work I did before I transferred to my current school). I don't have much in the way of extracurriculars on campus and all that jazz, but I am "sort of" diverse (I'm Middle Eastern) and I've done two fairly solid summer internships (one with a top finance firm and another with the state's attorney). I took my first GMAT Prep yesterday and scored a 700, hopefully I can replicate that sort of result on test day (I'm hoping to actually increase it a few points - test is on Saturday).

I'm an Economics/PoliSci major so hopefully that makes me 'Liberal Artsy' enough for 2+2. I'm also going to emphasize on my application that I just took the LSAT and am planning to go to Law School but decided to give 2+2 a shot.


Chances?
