Hi
Since HBS recently opened its 2+2 program to graduates from Master's degree program, I will be applying for round 2.
21, male, French
Undergrad :
Top French school for political science (n°1 in France, top 5 in Europe, most certainly known by HBS) : GPA equivalent 3.7
One-year study abroad at Johns Hopkins (poli sci & international studies) : 3.76 GPA
Grad :
M.A. in International Security at the same French School, same grade (about 3.7 GPA equivalent)
Experience :
1 month summer internship at a research center as assistant to a professor (sophomore year)
5 month part-time at a corporate foundation financed by major French industrial groups, mostly from the aerospace/defense sector
6 months full-time at the leading European aerospace & defense company, within the Strategy department, working on emerging markets
MAYBE (soon to be negociated) 6 months parti-time at a consultancy firm focusing on government-driven industries (and mostly aerospace/defense)
Extracurricular :
Played European handball for 10 years at a competitive level (even national competition when I was a teenager). Team captain several seasons. Amateur level though (but I doubt HBS knows European handball that well)
Group manager for a student project. Project was for the foundation in which I later interned, and involved research, meetings, experts interviews, and an oral presentation of the final report (which I did).
In charge of everything defense-related at a student-led international affairs magazine for 1 year
Language :
French (fluent)
Russian (advanced)
GMAT : 710
Career goal/explaination for MBA : want to get into the business side of the Aerospace & Defense industry.
Essay : talking about how I think better integration/partnerships between European A&D firms will help gain competitiveness and get Europe out of its industrial and economical downfall, and how I think young leaders should have a role in this process.
A short paragraph about how I got through a serious illness and still managed to have a good academic year, and what it taught/brought me.
Thank you for your insights/evaluation !

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."
"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."
"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
