I'm a graduated high college senior getting ready to work at an IT healthcare company and am hoping to get into MC. I did not have my act together in the fall when firms were recruiting and was also at a non-target for finance/MC. Thankfully I got an early admit to HBS so I'll be in the class of 2018 or 2019.
I have a couple of questions. First, I do not have a gmat score but I did score a 170/166 (Q/V) on the GRE, will this be a hinderence in recruiting? Second what can I be doing now to set myself up for success in my future interviews?
Thanks!
so you're getting ready to work full time or you're about to enter college? I'm confused
You are accepted early admit, but you don't know what class you applied for? I'm confused
2+2 allows for deferral of a year or two in addition to the mandatory 2 years. It's not uncommon for recent admits to state the possibility of deferring an extra year.
Seems unlikely to me that someone who is going to work in IT consulting from a non-target got into 2+2. I call troll.
I see plenty of non-targets get into the 2+2. The real question is what he was doing during college - jobs after undergrad may not have been known at the time of the decision.
Sorry, I meant to say graduated college student. I hope that clarifies the situation although I'm not really sure why people were more interested in determining if I was a troll than giving advice... And yes I was admitted to the 2+2 program. My UG was non target for consulting/finance but still around top 25 by usnews so definitely not a joke.
What exactly is a "graduated high college senior"? This statement read to me that you are:
A graduated college senior that smokes a hella weed. One that likely was high when he wrote this post because how can one be graduated and be a senior at the same time?
No- your gmat score won't matter at all if you're applying from HBS (don't even put it on your CV if you're worried about it).
The best things you can do are i) perform well enough to get onto the Dean's list (ii) work as hard as you can to get an internship at a good firm (even if it's not MBB it will help you for full time recruiting) (iii) join the consulting club and find people to practice case studies with
Good luck!
