What's the best approach in my application? How should I focus my essays? I'm applying 2+2 and GSB deferred in my third round.

Chickenparm, Full disclosure: I am an admissions consultant (and former admissions director/dean) who has successfully worked with HBS 2+2 candidates. I would advise you to a) demonstrate quantifiable impact (at school, in your internships, in your community) and b) discuss why the 2+2 would enable you to do something that you would not be able to do without having the 2+2 in your back pocket. In other words, if you plan to accept a full time offer with a company that will position you well for HBS or GSB in 3 years, then the deferred programs will not add value to you.
