anyone know the 2+2 interview dates?

how have you guys prepared for the 2+2 deferred MBA course

and also, can anyone tell when does the application begins for thr same

Hi HarshVerma - just to clarify, the 2+2 program at HBS is not a course, but is deferred admission to HBS' regular full-time two year MBA program (after at least two years of work experience). Candidates apply as a current student (senior undergrad or in a Masters program that is joint with undergrad or immediately following undergrad. Are you asking how to prepare to apply to the 2+2, or once accepted whether there is anything you should do to prepare for it?

As of this moment, HBS has yet to announce its 2+2 application dates for next season. This past application season the 2+2 application was due April 29, 2021.

StratusSoterios I know that its a full time 2+2 MBA and what all are the specifications for the same. I am asking how should I nourish my profile according to an in such a way that my acceptance chances at HBS increase

Hi HarshVerma - thank you for clarifying! As you've probably seen, some preference is given to top students whose path might not otherwise lead them to an MBA (as outlined here). But otherwise the evaluation criteria is nearly identical to how they assess their full-time MBA candidates, with the exception of professional experience. Harvard 2+2 and other deferred programs will be looking at your Academics (your GPA, including which classes you have taken, and your GMAT/GRE score); your Leadership and Impact (as demonstrated via your college or community extracurriculars); your Letters of Recommendation; and your Essay(s) (which ultimately should help explain where you are headed and the impact you want to have, and why an MBA from Harvard (or each school) is the best way for you to get there). There are ways to strengthen yourself in each of these areas, so I would suggest assessing yourself in each area to identify any weaknesses, and focus on strengthening in those areas first.

Without knowing more about your profile it's difficult to give more specific recommendations, but I hope this general advice is helpful!

Any advice on HBS essay?

while writing the HBS essay, I try to include my personal story that leads to the achievements I already have mentioned in my CV (Got this tip from various HBS interview sessions in GMATCLUB). My confusion is shall I not mention some events in my CV so that it seems unique in my essay?

I am an entrepreneur in the 2nd year of my start-up. I think, my story leads to my current position anyway. Please guide me through it.

Guys FYI, our HBS YouTube series starts from today. You can check its details here hbs-admissions-youtube-series-with-maria-vich-wila-hbs-alum-357817.html
