saptak1990- you got some badass stats. good luck

hi rpsingh,
thanks! all the best with your application. Already submitted? Mind sharing some of your stats?

Posted from my mobile device

hey saptak1990,

great profile! I think they will like your background, and IIT is a great school. I am applying round one. Good luck!

Hi 02163,

Thanks! All the best for your application as well! What's your stats, if you don't mind sharing? (PM if you prefer)

I don't have much to share at this moment, as I haven't taken the GMAT yet. My GPA is a little below the average/median 3.76. Studying econ and poli sci in a school in Midwest. Guess it's gonna be tough for me

I'll be applying round 1 if I'm satisfied with my GMAT score and round 2 if I need to retest. I just found out about the HBS 2+2 program recently so I am frantically trying to throw together items for an application. Although I am not the best prepared I figure it couldn't hurt to apply anyway...

Best of luck to everyone!

lol stanford.

this place is quiet !!!

I know. I am super nervous now that the deadline has passed.

did you turn in your application yet?
