Incoming MMS student, eyeing HBS/GBS deferred MBAs: Chances?


So yeah, any feedback would be great on my chances for HBS/GBS 2+2. Appreciate it guys. I think I probably have the "unique" background they might be looking for but my internships may be lacking on the quality front, especially when up against people who have done internships at GS / JPM / MBB etc. Also if anyone has an idea of the profile that HBS/GBS are looking for in their applicants, would be great to know!

18 years growing up in Asia for Quant prep along with 3 years of law school for Verbal, and you're good to go.

But really though it was more repetition than anything: a month of 2-3h/day revision with GMAT Official Guides + Manhattan + mock tests worked out well.
