Hi everyone,

I am currently dealing with finals and other stuff, so applying to the Harvard 2+2 program (deadline: June 15th) would be a serious commitment. Should I apply?

GPA: ~3.5 at Top 30 University
GMAT: 680 (will retake before deadline)
Extras: President of two clubs, good internships, nice recs

Thoughts?
Don't stop believin'...

i don't want to come off as pessimistic but... you are going to need something pretty significant to justify applying / or you have money and time to dedicate to the application.

the people i know that are applying have 3.9+ and 730+ on the GMAT. plenty of leadership/extras/story of why harvard 2+2. i dont want to put you down, but you should be realistic and look at your competition

but once again, you never know!

just manage your own expectations... i was at HBS for an LGBT open house and about 1/2 of the people in the room were looking into the HBS 2+2 program... their stories didn't seem amazing, and a bunch of them were from Harvard.

It'll be interesting to see what happens this year with the 2+2 program. The matriculating class this fall will be the first class to have the 2+2 students.
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

Is there a thread this year for HBS 2+2 applicants?
The past 2 years all had quite lengthy threads, but I can't seem to find one for this year
