HBS 2+2 Mexican Profile Evaluation

Good day,

I'm really interested in applying to HBS's 2+2 Program and Stanford's and Yale's deferred admission MBA Program and I would really appreciate a quick evaluation from you on my chances of admission.

-22 years old Mexican male, currently on my senior year. -Studying Civil Engineering in Mexico's #1 school on this particular subject. -Member of my University's Honors Program, currently doing research on Climate Change consequences for communities near the rivers at the northern part of Mexico. -Worked a summer internship at a local construction site where I suppervised a little team of 4 workers. -Currently teaching math courses at poor Primary Schools in my state. -Proposed to create CETYS's (the best private High School and University in Mexico's north-western side) first men's volleyball program, enabling approximately 30 volleyball players in all of Baja California (a mexican state) to apply for a scholarship regardless of their social status. -4.0 GPA -750 GMAT.

Extracurricular: -Been a high performance volleyball athlete for the last 7 years. -5 consecutive Junior National Championships (annual competition). -3 consecutive High School National Championships (annual competition and first national title in my High School's sport's program. -3 consecutive University National Championships (annual competition and first national title in my University's volleyball program). -2 consecutive recognitions as the best Student-Athlete in my University. -5 Junior Championship titles achieved in the western part of the US (where all of US's western coast states participated with their clubs). -2nd place at the U19 (under 19 years old) Panamerican World Championship Qualifier Tournament. -2nd place at the U23 (under 23 years old) Panamerican World Championship Qualifier Tournament. -13th place at the Boy's U19 World Championship. -16th place at the Men's U21 World Championship. -Recognized as the 10th best player in the World by stats at the U19 World Championship. -Recognized as the best volleyball player in my state.

Former team captain at: -Middle School. -High School. -University (active). -Mexican National Team.

Post MBA short-term Goal would be to start my own construction firm in Mexico and actively participate to diminish Mexico's corruption rate in this sector, also I think its very important to start constructing safe infraestructure in Mexico as these irregularities have been recently exposed by the recent earthquake. I would like my firm to be the first in my country to do construction clean and safe. Long-term goal would be to become involved in the government.

Any advise on what I should be doing to improve my admission's chances would be kindly welcomed!

so you're going to get advice for a potential HBS application from a site named wallstreetoasis ? Spend the money and talk to real professional guidance advisors face to face.

You're a Latino international with great grades and scores, engineering background, strong leadership, and a goal of ending corruption in Mexico?

You've got about as good as a chance as any of the other top candidates. I'd apply to the Wharton pre-admit program too. Given a good essay I don't see any reason why you wouldn't get in. The only thing is that there are so few spots in these programs, maybe you'd get bumped by a blue chip US background student.

Worst case, if you work somewhere decent for 2-4 years and reapply, you'd probably get into all the tops schools anyways so I wouldn't sweat it too much if you think B school is in the cards.
