"My last internship was in ibd, but I can take it out from my resume as I have 4 other internships to talk about."

"Probably doesn't help much, but I am gay and will disclose this in application."

You are a t(f)ool

Whatever you say, I am just trying out different career options, what interests me most while still in college. My VC internship really makes me think I need a wider network if I am interested in that area. I thought IBD can provide the network (as while working in VC, I have seen many ex-banker joined VC firm or started their company) so I tried it. I think HBS might be most relevant considering knowledge, and the angels+VC network in Boston area.

As for the gay thing, I don't really care about it, but if that's something different from majority on top of applicant's credentials, what's wrong with it. c'mon, if I really want to play that card I might just apply Stanford or become a transgender. Please do not pick on something minor and attack, thanks ;)

I think applicant's background only informs his values, but more importantly it's the whole package - his motivation, what he has done and he what wants to achieve makes the application complete, which I have been talking in the post. I am just wondering whether I should apply now or few years down the road

You have to apply your jr yr. You can't apply for 2+2 a few years down the road. And shouldn't you have already taken your GMAT if you want to apply for the program? I think the deadline is coming up soon.

If HBS takes this guy and I don't even get an interview I'm going to jump off a bridge.

you never know...there are some really random people @ HBS

to OP, its really competitive, there are hundreds more ppl with your credentials or better, but if you get 750+ on GMAT then go ahead and apply

unless you have a leadership position in a gay organization or something of that sort, i dont see how you can bring it up without sounding desperate for diversity points ( i dont think it matters regardless)
