Hey,
I'm a rising college junior (still got time) interested in getting into HBS 2+2 (as well as Stanford GSB). I've currently got a 3.66 and am a chemical engineering major, probably going to keep it or possibly go higher, as most of the worst classes are behind me. Haven't taken the GMAT yet, but I'm getting like a 710-720 in the practice exams, so hopefully I can pick it up a tad bit there.
GPA: 3.66
GMAT: Estimating between 710-720, haven't taken it yet
As far as leadership/extracurriculars, I was elected to executive board for the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and helped organize and manage a team of around 6 people for the regional conference and organize a career fair for all the chemical engineering undergrads. I'm also involved in undergraduate research, and we just submitted a paper that should be published soon in a physical chemistry journal, in which I am 4th author, and have won 1st place at a poster competition with the same lab. I also am in charge of hiring, training, and managing new interns in the lab and do so for a team of two interns who I manage.
I am also one of only four chemical engineering undergrads at my school (USC) to get a summer internship with a semiconductors company in research and devlopment, where I create samples for lithography, do semiconductor measurements and data analysis, as well as get some customer interaction.
I've also taken microeconomics with some free units, and have coding experience, being proficient in MATLAB and Java, taken some comparative literature classes in Shakespeare and an expository writing class. I also am pretty fluent in French from my high school days and can speak it pretty well.
What are the odds I make it in to 2+2 when I apply in my senior year? What should I do in my junior and senior years to look better as an applicant?
Thanks guys!!
