Trivial Queries regarding HBS 2+2 application

[rishabhsaxena]

Hi,

I am applying to the HBS 2+2 program this summer. Regarding the application I had some doubts.

Firstly, do we have to mention our internship experience in part time section of application?
Secondly, in the Testing Information section, what are we supposed to write in the English Usage section which is given at the end of the Testing Information section??

Since the deadline is around 4 days away, I request everyone to reply asap. It wud help me a lot!!

I gave the GMAT, got a 730..

and sure , i'll let u know..
and regarding the internships , search for the HBS 2+2 (new) forum on the site, u'll find some helpful posts...

I dont have any sort of internship experience , so didn't dwelve much into it...so personally have no idea..
and if u cant find it, just mail HBS..

btw , a quick profile.
I'm an accounting major (Gujarat), no business exposure, but have non-profit work experience..

I am doing btech in chemical engg from iit delhi. thanx for all ur replies. one more thing i wanted to know was that since i took my gre 3 days ago, i wont be receiving the official score card before the application deadline. hence i do know my score but not the percentile. Leaving the percentile field blank shows up as an error stating that it is a required field. any suggestions??

and hey, how are ur essays coming up??

[chintanjadwani]

Sorry ,, have no idea about the Gre ...especially wen u me ask on a Gmat forum..!! l

but just a suggestion, try searching for ppl who got similar scores onlines, they might have mentioned their percentiles, or check out ETS's site. u'll get past data and I dont think there'll be significant changes in the percentiles,, hope it helps..

n essays..phew...to be very frank...just writing them up !

[chintanjadwani]
