Harvard mba 2+2 application

Question

My name is Kavya. I'm pursuing my graduation in sociology. I'm planning to apply for Harvard mba 2+2 this year. I'm going to write my gmat, next week. I'm not confident that will score above 700. 
I scored 9.5 in 10th,
97.6% in intermediate and 8.36 cgpa in graduation. I have skills in digital marketing and done an internship too. I have worked with few NGOs too and trained few children. I am very active in sports and won few competitions.
Do you think I can get a seat in Harvard?

Kavya003 : You will have a difficult time getting into Harvard via the normal admissions process with a 700 GMAT score, much less the 2+2 program. The latter puts a big emphasis on grades and GMAT/GRE. The argument is that you are academically and technically gifted, which will make up for your present non-existent work experience and your minimal two years of work experience before matriculating. Your experience and ECs sound good, but nothing stellar. I would need to know more about the extent of your accomplishments before writing them off or overstating them. Also, I am not seeing anything truly unique about your background. The 2+2 program is for rare candidates or those that come from less traditional backgrounds to interest them in the MBA before they pursue other pathways. I am not saying you shouldn't try, but you definitely need to try to improve your GMAT or go in with a realistic expectation that you will not get admitted and will have to reapply in a few years after you have gained some experienced and improved your overall profile.

We can hep you fine tune everything but the GMAT, which should give you a slightly better chance. https://admissionado.com/free-consultation/ Best, Admissionado

Hi Kavya003 , Thank you for sharing. Successful applicants have already demonstrated considerable leadership through internships and extracurricular activities, either on or off-campus. I would like to know more about your internship experience to see what kind of work you did here. I am also curious about where you are pursuing your sociology degree. Strong candidates have a clear sense of their career goals as well, though this often comes only after working together with a consultant on the applications. Harvard 2+2 is one of the most well-known deferred MBA programs, and also very competitive. A 700 GMAT or below will make it more difficult for you to stand out – so you will definitely want to work on maximizing this score. As for the other components of your application, it is key that you demonstrate leadership and successfully articulate your MBA goals. Personal MBA Coach can help you put together a strong application via our comprehensive services . Where else do you plan on applying besides Harvard? Many other top programs offer deferred MBA programs. Personal MBA Coach recommends applying to 5 to 7 to maximize your chances of acceptance.
