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
