Hi!
I'm working on my application to the Harvard 2+2 program, and I would appreciate any comment you have. This is my profile:
School: Queen's University (Kingston, ON)
Program: Engineering Chemistry (Combination Chem Eng/ Honour Chem)
GPA: 4.0 (over 3 years... going into senior year)
GMAT
Overall: 780 (99%)
Quant: 50 (94%)
Verbal: 50 (99%)
AWA: 6
Work experience:
The Engineering Society at Queen's operates several services that are run for students by students. I have been involved as the sales manager for the clothing company (which does more than $250 000 in sales, mainly of leather jackets), and am now the business and human resources manager for the environmental coffee company. I have also worked as a research assistant as a summer student for two summers.
extracurricular involvements:
-fencing team
-musical theatre pit orchestra
-chamber orchestra
-soccer/innertube waterpolo intramurals
-engineering outreach events
awards, patents, publications, etc...
-Chancellor's Scholar (full scholarship -4 years provided)
-Several course related scholarship
Although my academics are good, what types of things should I highlight in essays etc.? I know that HBS is looking for non-business students - is it possible that my management experience could count against me?
I would really appreciate any input!
