HBS 2+2 chances and thoughts?

I hate these chance me posts but would really appreciate some guidance.

I’m at a Cornell/UChicago/Dartmouth type of school, studying Math with a concentration in Econ, started a finance club and did internships in investment banking (freshman summer), private equity (sophomore summer), and then investment banking again (larger firm but not a BB/EB). My GPA is going to be at about a 3.3. I’m also first gen college from NYC.

I’ve been thinking about applying for HBS 2+2 but I feel like my GPA will clip me-granted math major at my school is one of the hardest (Average GPA is 2.9) and grade deflation was brutal.

Is it worth studying the GMAT and applying? If so what would be a score I should be happy with? Thank you!
