First off, thanks for doing this.
I'm graduating in 2016 from a top school in Eastern Europe (there's a bummer) and I'm interested in a deferred admission MBA, M7 being the dream. Such deferred admissions programs such as Harvard 2+2 are oriented towards non-business backgrounds, so I'm curious how I fit the bill regarding this aspect too.
Now, the GPA (7 - 7.5/10) is not fantastic and neither is the major (law), so what do you think about the whole picture?
