race / ethnicity / diversity stats? Did ur community involvement help any of the victimized or marginalized groups, and if so, which group?
Goals?
Solid chance at Wharton, need to know more to change at H/S
So do you think work experience will hurt me? I've been told that fortune 10 firms might not look as good as McKinsey, etc.
if you're not a female and/or URM, H/S are very unlikely, wharton + other M7 are possible.
Why are my chances weak? What can I do to improve?
not much honestly. non urm males who get into H/S generally have 3.9 GPAs from top 5 schools, 760+ GMATs, and elite work experience (top IB + MF PE, MBB, Google APM, etc)
It's just like MBB recruiting. Branded experience plus decent GMAT and GPA. They don't really give importance to schools. If they did, undergrads from Pakistani non targets wouldn't get accepted. Their focus id on the quality of the experience and your recommendations and the brand of your experience. Write a great SOP and you have 25-30% chance. That low because it's still HBS and they keep their acceptance rates low
You really can't compare a candidate from Pakistan to a candidate from the US
This has to be a troll. These are some of the top schools in Pakistan.
Of course the top students from a country like Pakistan will get into top schools.
