I also like to play basketball as my hobby. Have been a part of school team and also PwC corporate team(But do not have any certificates to show for it).
Posted from my mobile deviceHI Anand,
Several suggestions to make yourself a more competitive applicants for HBS, because it's a stretch now.
1. Raise that quant score.
2. You describe mostly what you've done or been a part of, but not the specific impact your efforts have had. In your application, be more specific about your role in any initiative, and also be specific about the impact and contribution of that initiative.
3. You may have it, but I don't see in your post the kind of leadership that HBS students have. Make sure to either highlight it, if you have it, or to get it if you don't have it.
4. If you can obtain international exposure, that would be helpful, but it's not required.
Best,
Linda
