HBS 2+2 Applicant Review
Apologies to those people who are sick of these...
I'm considering applying to the 2+2 program, but I wanted to get some outside advice first. Here are a few of my qualifications:
Psychology Major, Business Strategy Minor
GPA: 3.9, semi-target school
GMAT: 720
Spent 2 years as an LDS missionary in Tokyo (learned fluent Japanese)
3 time marathon finisher, Boston Marathon qualifier
Consulting Club President
Member of various honor and academic societies (English society, psych society, phi kappa phi, etc)
Started small non-profit website to help teenagers find jobs (not huge, but worth mentioning)
Boutique consulting firm experience
Upcoming finance internship with Boeing
Some other volunteer and leadership experiences here and there
My obvious problem is that I might have too much business experience (despite my social science major) to be considered. Is this going to kill me? Should I leave anything related to business off completely? Any insights would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.





You have a pretty good chance
You have a pretty good chance and should definitely apply. I'm pretty impressed you learned fluent Japanese in just two years.

Thank you. Your comments are encouraging.
Should I leave the finance internship off? Or any other business related things? Thoughts anyone?

You can compare profiles and experiences with other candidates.
Great profile though, good luck.
