In the context of undergrads applying to top American b-schools I’d say a STRONG GPA is 3.8 and a STRONG GMAT is 720+ (750 if the person is from India, as it seems you are).
HBS 2+2 is of course top notch, other than that, I know Tepper and Johnson take a handful of fresh undergrads each year and I’m sure some other schools do as well. But it's extremely tough to get in straight from undergrad. You would really have to sell yourself and your leadership experiences while in undergrad very well. Also, they weight GPA much more heavily if you have no work-experience. So, if that 3.2 GPA is the STRONG GPA you’re talking about, I’d say it’s actually more like an automatic DING unless it consisted of a 1.5GPA freshman year when you were dealing with the tragic death of both your parents and the loss of your right leg, and then a 4.0GPA the other three years, while juggling. Unless you have some INCREDIBLE one-in-a-million life story I’d say it’s going to be near impossible to get into any T-25 fulltime b-school with no work experience, having a 3.2, and being from India.
I guess the answer to your question is that any school/ anything is possible; I don’t think any b-school would turn down that high-school girl who discovered a cure for cancer if, 4 years from now, she had an epiphany and wanted to go to business school upon completing her undergrad. But, you have to keep it in perspective. What value can you add to the b-school and your classmates? Typically not much if you’re coming straight from undergrad. Remember that I said “typically,” though.
