HBS 2+2 and similar programs (Indian candidate, age-19 years) [#permalink]

19 Mar 2019, 03:06

My name is Nivaan Gupta, I live in Mumbai, India. I am currently pursuing my B. Tech. in Electronics and Telecommunication from Mumbai university. I have currently completed 3 semesters (second year, age:19 years) and my average is around 6.5/10 GPA (I know which can be a problem). My academics in college are not up to the mark but my percentage in my 12th grade board exams (Subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Math, English, Computers & Physical education) is 91.5%

Apart from my academics I have done one internship (for about 1 year 3 months) in which I was sent to countries like Nepal and Brazil from India to conduct MUN Conferences (Model United Nations) being responsible for organizing the conference in Brazil in Sao Paulo (from the venue till the students) and chairing committee in Nepal.

I am currently part of two ventures:

1. Maid Over Protocol: We support local housewives in Mumbai suffering from poverty by employing them for residential cleaning work in more prominent households of Mumbai.
2. RNB Media and solutions: We provide complete digital marketing solutions to various clients.

Both of my ventures are sustaining themselves but I need more expertise in business field to be able to push and grow them into a cause and I think an MBA for me is essential for that to happen.

Now, as I also study in college I do not have any work experience which I thought was a problem until I found about HBS 2+2.

Following are my questions:-

1. I want to know if I even have a shot at a college like Harvard with the above profile
2. What more can I do to help my application as I have 2 years to work on it
3. What GMAT score am I looking at
4. What Toefl score am I looking at
5. Any additional advice for an Indian Student
6. What all programs are like the HBS 2+2 which give a chance to study about business without work experience. (I know about one program in Yale for the same. if I could get more information about the same or any other program).

Lastly, I would like to thank you all for giving my query a read and look forward for receiving more help on the same.

I can answer question 3 and 4
3. I have heard it many times from a wise man that HBS doesn't care for a GMAT score as long as it starts with 7. Personally I would say 720+ is good enough but doesn't assure you the admission, even 800 scorer can fail to get in
4. IELTS, a much easier exam, can get you in with an overall band score of 7.

HBS wants leaders, so do all other Business Schools. What makes HBS different? What drives an HBS alumni? Well, I think I have said enough; you have two years, think on that. Can Harvard really be the school that will help you achieve your goal in career? or Is there some other? Best to do some self evaluation. HBS is not the only B-school in the world, there are many more. Keep your options open.
