Hi, I’m applying to HBS 2+2 and Stanford Deferred enrolment and would greatly appreciate a profile evaluation and any advice!
Background:
Final year mid Ivy studying a STEM Major
International student; first gen in terms of parents not going to a 4 year bachelors
Asian ethnically but from a predominantly white country
Graduating in 3 years with a 3.85
GRE: Verbal 168, Quant 159
Work Experience:
Incoming Kleiner Perkins Fellow and Associate Product Manager a top program (~10 people each year from 4000+ applicants)
Summer Analyst at McKinsey NY
Product intern at a top startup funded by YC and tier 1 investors (sequoia, a16z).
Led and closed seed stage venture deals with 100-250k check sizes for a student led fund.
Extracurriculars:
Division 1 athlete for a few years but quit in final year.
Various leadership roles in generic clubs.
Founded a small club - limited traction but surviving.
Reasons for applying:
It would derisk pathways like quitting my job to do a crypto startup or similarly risky options.
My GRE quant is low, should I try to explain it? I didn’t know that you could only use a white board and not paper in the at home GRE, so I had to do all the math in my head - scored much higher on the free practices. I have a few quant heavy courses on my transcript that I did ok in though.
Thanks, would greatly appreciate some odds. I don’t think I will apply to other deferred programs because I wouldn’t commit to them knowing that it would cut me off from reapplying to HBS or GSB later on.

I think you should take GMAT. You will have to take GMAT anyway before you apply to jobs. So it would be better to get a good GMAT score preferably above 720. take a few months, prepare for gmat, get 720+ and then proceed for MBA. You have time on your side. Make better use of it. Best of luck

Thanks for your reply! I probably would take the gmat if I had the time - unfortunately deferred MBA apps are due in a few weeks and I am busy with a loaded course schedule among other commitments.
Do you think I should explain my GRE quant or would that come across as weak?
