Your EC's are great! Your GMAT and GPA are in line, just need to work on presenting your story and goals and you should have a really good shot.

Hes working on a startup and with the level of dedication his ECs take I can imagine that a standard internship was out of the question. I think he has a great shot and probably has learned more about his industry and doing business during his EC than at any standard Junior level summer internship

Re: Profile Evaluation for Harvard 2+2 program please! [#permalink]
I have an update to my profile:

This last semester was by the far the hardest of my curriculum, and perhaps the hardest semester of any major in undergrad (5 junior and senior level chemical engineering courses). My overall GPA is the lowest it will be in all of college at 3.25 (next year will be much easier and my GPA will go up).

I also just finished taking the GMAT missed my goal by 10 points, scoring a 690 overall, with a 46/38 quant/verbal split. I feel as if i could have done much better on the GMAT (with the two most recent GMATPrep scores being 740 and 730) but freaked out at the beginning of the quant section.

If you guys could offer some wisdom on the following questions I would greatly appreciate it:
Is there even a point to me applying to Harvard with my updated academic profile?
Will my profile consider full consideration in spite of not having a 700+ GMAT score?
If I was able to retake the GMAT (but had to apply at a later round because of this) and improve my score to 730 would it increase my chances enough to be worth the cost of the test?

Any insight or encouragement I would greatly appreciate, pretty bummed and considering not even applying. Thanks for your time

I'm preparing for the application process as well so you can take my comments with a grain of salt.

I wouldn't sweat it and you should still apply. Your GPA is above average in your major so don't see it as bad. The top 10 schools usually have an average GMAT score of 700-710 and your just about there so that seems okay. If you can retake the GMAT and time and be confident in increasing the score than do it, otherwise i would just apply since you may not actually have the time to study. Your EC's are amazing and definitely makes you stand out but i would recommend mentioning or finding a way to aligning what you post MBA goals are and how you've been working to achieve them.

But i would suggest that you apply.
