Dear kushalkh,

Since the Harvard 2+2 program is new, there is not much information nor do we know what the first class' profile looks like yet. Generally speaking, HBS will expect high numbers (GMAT and GPA) and experiences in your background that demonstrate your leadership potential. It is not enough to have some extracurriculars; you must have leadership roles in those activities and some professional-level internships. It is probably a more competitive application process than the full-time MBA program.

Good luck,
Lisa
