If I'm not mistaken, HBS 2+2 is targeted at people who wouldn't ordinarily be associated with "business", i.e. artists, engineers, musicians and the like. You... are very business.
True, but ~20% of students admitted are business majors. Thoughts on my competitiveness in that 20%?
Also, what about Stanford's GSB deferred program? Does that have the same bias?
No, 20% of students admitted are Economics/Business majors. Econ gets counted as a liberal arts major, for whatever reason. Yes, it's bleedin' weird.
Oh ok, thought it included finance too. So, no?....
I'm also an Aus student so hardly an expert, however, the 2+2 program is commonly viewed to be, as others have said, targeted at those who aren't traditional b-school candidates. I.e. Not finance.
Does it hurt to apply though? Probabaly not. Good luck, I wish my credentials where nearly that impressive.
Edit: Unless you are planning to work in the US i don't think a harvard MBA would be worth the cost.
