My sample size is fairly low, but all the kids I know who got into 2+2 all were from non-traditional background (ie. non finance / econ major who didn't plan on going into IBD / MBB / tech). To be honest, while you have some great experiences, I don't really see anything that stands out in your profile, not to say that you don't have a decent chance at HBS / GSB in a couple years time, but I am not sure it's worth the time and effort to apply now.
Actually, I never really understood the appeal of the 2+2, the chances of getting in are so slim, I never understood why you wouldn't wait a couple years when you'll have much better experience to sell and a better idea whether business school really make sense or whether the timing is right.
2+2 seems unlikely but if you get a 750+ and work at a megafund post banking then they're in play
you look pretty standard for the 40-50% of MBB/BB's MBA students. how will you differentiate yourself for the early ticket?
