I am a Nigerian and am very interested in applying for the HBS 2+2 program by March 2012. I am presently working on the application package. But this is my situation, and I want a sincere honest advice. I am working full time (since 2006) in a large multinational company as a Human Resource Assistant and schooling for my B.Sc. Management degree at the same time, to graduate in 2012. I had to combine work and school to be able to fund my degree education. I had earlier completed Ordinary National Diploma program (OND) and was awarded the BEST GRADUATE BY ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE.

Also, I run a personal business that is fully registered in Nigeria, and my ultimate goal, for which reason I want the MBA, is to start a Management Consulting Firm specializing in Leadership and Strategy to contribute to the Nigerian Transformational Agenda. But in the short run, I hope to work with a Management Consulting firm after the MBA. I have also engaged in Public Speaking as a guest speaker in many Christian Youth Fellowships across some states in Nigeria.

I read that the HBS 2+2 program is for undergraduates without full time work experience. Will my full time work experience to date, even though I am still schooling for a B.Sc. degree, constitute a disadvantage or an advantage to my application? Do I seem 'Over-qualified' for the 2+2 program? Please help me....
