question about HBS 2+2

by Runaway » Sat Oct 04, 2008 1:05 pm
hi all,
this is my first actual post but I read the Forum all the time (it's the best). so thanks in advance.

My question has to do with the 2+2program. Do they expect internships on Wall Street after the junior year? I am interested in non-profit management and already had an internship in that sector after my sophomore year. I also worked for a congressman and now handle finances for an international non-profit organization.
I want to use next summer to take classes, do service and learn a new language.
But should I take the Goldman Sachs job and bolster my application?

If you have significant business experience, then you will be encouraged to apply to the regular MBA program instead of the HBS 2+2 program. Here is an excerpt from the HBS website:

The 2+2 Program is primarily targeted towards students who are not already on a business track (i.e. students studying the liberal arts, sciences, engineering, etc.). If your current academic training and internship experiences put you on a solid foundation to advance in a business career, 2+2 may not be the right program for you. We encourage candidates with a strong track record of leadership and business exposure to consider applying as college seniors to our regular MBA Program.
