I am a Final year student of BITS Pilani and am planning to apply to the HBS 2+2 MBA program.I have a good amount of extracurricular, including a few leadership positions, back with a High GPA and above 700 GMAT score. But I have not engaged in much Social work or entrepreneurship. So is it worth applying for the 2+2 program or should I wait a few years?

Thanks for your post. We would really need more information before evaluating. For instance above 700 is not good enough for 2+2, especially from India. What is your specific score and what is your GPA? In addition, where will you be working after graduating?
If you want to send me your resume, we can discuss further: scott@personalmbacoach.com or www.personalmbacoach.com
Best,
Scott

Reposting my reply to this question from another chain by shaunak95 so everyone can see it. Cheers!
Thanks sharing your stats. I would absolutely apply! HBS's 2+2 Program is specifically geared at attracting STEM students who would otherwise get sucked away in the vortex of the technology industry and not think about returning for their MBA in a few years time. Entrepreneurship is an interesting thing to have depending on your narrative, but not required. Neither is social work.
It is an incredibly special thing to be admitted to the 2+2 program because it frees you up to take all sorts of amazing career opportunities safe in the knowledge that your fall-back plan is Harvard! I worked closely with a few this past cycle and I can't tell you how thrilled they were to be admitted.
If you don't mind me asking, what is your major?
Lastly, in case you haven't already, I would definitely check out the links that HBS posts on its website.
- HBS will visit several campuses and offer webinars throughout the year. Please check our Events page for more information
- Hear from HBS students and alumni about their 2+2 experience on the MBA Voices Blog
- See the section about the 2+2 program on the Find Answers page for responses to frequently asked questions
- An overview of the application process to the 2+2 Program can be reviewed online.
