it's scheduled for the last week of Feb.
I'm expecting to get good score in that, somewhat around 720+!

Hi Rishika,

You sound like a solid applicant for the 2+2 program. Your great grades (and hopefully 720 GMAT score) put you right on par academically with the average accepted applicant. Be sure you highlight your leadership experience in your essays. HBS is keen on admitting strong leaders, so be sure to highlight your work with the NGOs and leading the marketing team for an event in your essays.

Best,

Stacey

Just one more thing, do you think my work on technical project will enhance my essays?
I mean should I emphasize it in my essays, because I've read that the Adcom is more inclined
towards selecting students who do more of technical work rather than managerial!

The adcom is interested in your entire background and experience. Just be sure that when you write about your technical experiences that you avoid using industry jargon that might confuse your reader.
