Profile Evaluation Request- HBS2+2

by rsm_iitb » Sun May 17, 2009 11:32 pm
Hi,

I will be applying to HBS2+2 this year and wanted to know what my chances would be like.

I also wanted to know if my profile would be competitive enough to try for Stanford GSB, being a college senior, and if I should look at other schools or wait till I have work experience.

Here's my profile:

Sorry for the long profile, I wasn't sure what I should write or omit!!

Please let me know what my chances would be like, and where apart from HBS I could (if i should!) apply.

Thanks a lot

Dear rsm_iitb,

Without knowing your GMAT score, it is hard to comment on your chances at any business school. You seem to have some interesting things in your background and have done well academically in college. To be competitive for any business school without any professional work experience post-bachelor's degree, you will need an exceptionally high GMAT. Likewise, the HBS 2+2 program is highly selective and you will need an above average GMAT there. Finally, you will need to convey a solid rationale for going to business school in relation to your career goals.

Good luck,
Lisa

Dear Lisa,

Thank you very much for your reply.

HBS 2+2 as well as Stanford allow GRE scores in place of GMAT scores, hence I was planning to just use my GRE score (1530/1600).

Will it make a difference to my chances if I give GMAT?

Regards,
Rutika
