hello ,
i will be applying HBS 2+2 this summer. i am yet to give GMAT.
MY EXTRA CURRICULUM is good. but only one factor that holds me back is low GPA.
WHAT ARE CHANCES IF I SCORE EXCELLENT IN GMAT?
CAN A GOOD GMAT SCORE HIDE MY BAD GPA ?
PLEASE HELP ME. I AM IN GREAT CONFUSION WHETHER TO APPLY OR NOT?

Dear Nikhil,
With a low GPA, you will definitely need a high GMAT score. However, the HBS 2+2 program will have strong candidates with exceptional GMAT and GPA numbers. Depending on how the rest of your profile looks, you might still be competitive with a high GMAT despite your GPA. I would encourage you to research the program thoroughly, including talking to the admissions office, to determine how competitive you will be.
Good luck,
Lisa
