Previous IB/PE internship = HBS 2+2 ding?

Hey guys, I was wondering if previous IB/PE internships will result in a immediate ding if I applied for 2+2. I'm at a ivy and have a GPA of around 3.5. The I'm pursuing a major in the Arts because honestly, I hate econ. Would I qualify for 2+2 if they saw a previous finance-related job on my CV?

Well I thought 2+2 is meant for people who are not 'supposed' to have considered business as a career path. What I'm trying to say is, will my IB/PE internship expose the sneaky cheat I am?

 

From what I saw in the Beat the GMAT forums, there were a bunch of Indian engineers with I-Bank experience getting interviews. I think you'd definitely have a shot. However, a 770 GMAT, 3.8 GPA from a top 15 LAC, and two varsity sports didn't get me an interview.
