HBS 2+2 - What are my chances?

Hi, i'm applying next year to the HBS 2+2 program. Here are my credentials:
4.0 GPA from Texas a&m, although i have about 30 hours of community college (4.0) because it was cheap and money was a huge problem. finance major math minor.
750 GMAT should have solid recs and essays. i am indian however, and that might hurt me. One internship as well. What do you think my chances are? hoping for a 40 percent chance lol. thanks!!!

Hi Prn, Other than the grades, you haven't told us any reason why Harvard would jump at you. Any leadership? Serious internships? You mentioned just one internship, but was it a rock-star internship? Entrepreneurial activities? Standard volunteer work is probably not going to cut it, so other than being smart, what can you give them?

I hope I don't sound too snarky, but in all seriousness, this is a very small program, so to get admitted, students have to have some outstanding qualifications other than good grades and scores, and a pretty strong idea of what they can give to the HBS community.
