i also got invited for an interview and this blog post is great info. @ Kartik, I'm also an international student and I know how hard it can be to get a US visa in such a short span of time. I would say, go to the embassy and tell them your situation and see if it falls under some emergency category. also, HBS might be able to afford you some leniency.

Karvin,

From what I've seen online, the average GMAT for HBS is 707 and the median is 720. But, no one knows what the scores will be for 2+2...

Thanks for the post. There really isn't that much ...

2008-06-06T02:32:00.000-07:00

Thanks for the post. There really isn't that much out there about 2+2 aside from the Harvard site. I googl'ed it and came to this.

It's an exciting program. I'm an international business major now, so it kind of sucks to hear that it's not business kids that this is targeting.

Honestly, you can do so much with a business undergrad and if they are looking to keep the 'talent' from going to law schools (as some of the articles say), then business undergrads are still fair game. I'm considering law school too or a Masters in Government or Public Policy. It says we don't need the resources as much because we are already on that path, but I'd argue that many business students would achieve more and stay more on a 'business' path if they had the resources of the program and the help finding the work experience that would lead them well into HBS.

I think it looks like a fantastic program and it is likely to attract a high caliber of undergrads looking to nail down some promising medium term plans (so maybe it'll attract some fairly risk adverse undergrads who are wanting to commit and move forward instead of go experience the world.. but that's cool for me). The summer programs in the cohort especially sound like an amazing bonding opportunity. In a world where your network is your net worth, that makes a huge difference for me in my selection of programs. I think it'd be so rad to be with up to 90 other people who you were going to be going to school with for those two years, but have exposure to each other for a total of four years going through the whole program. It sounds like it would breed some awesome friendships and future working relationships. Maybe even some companies?

I'm writing my GMAT earlier just so that I can apply to this.. *fingers crossed*

Keep up the good blogging. I hope to read more.
