Should I even apply to HBS 2+2, Yale Silver Scholars or GSB deferred?
Hey - I'd appreciate some advice. I obviously don't have a great chance but I wanted to ask if you think I should even consider applying now or if I should wait for the actual MBA.
So I've been considering taking the GMAT (I took a cold practice test and scored around 700 on my first try) and applying to the above mentioned schools. I'm a Business senior undergraduate (finance major) at a European university with an average GPA and a semester abroad spent at a second tier US university. I'm currently completing my 5th internship in a major East Coast city at a PE firm (previous ones were in Banking and Fintech).
Sports I practice include soccer, paddle tennis, skiing and a martial art. Extra curriculars include being Campus Ambassador of a top BB bank, member of the Consulting Club of my university and being a Maths & English tutor. I've also volunteered at a couple of places and am fluent in two languages and intermediate in another one.
Apart from having to score +750 on the GMAT, is there anything else you recommend me focusing on at he time being?
Thx
I'd argue the most important question to ask yourself would be what you seek to gain by doing an MBA (over a Master's).
IMO the Master's would simply give me a more technical/quantitative background and not as many opportunities compared to an MBA - I think starting as an analyst you'll get much better training and knowledge than doing a Master's (i.e. time better spent). The main pro for me of these MBAs is the career boost it gives you and the contacts you make.
I'd say no HBS 2+2 rarely accepts undergraduate business majors. Designed for non-business majors.
What about Yale Silver Scholars? They come straight into MBA from undergrad, but they still leave room for a year long internship. However, is this enough to break into IB with little or no previous IB internships? Or do Silver Scholars typically not ever make it into IB PE HF etc. due to them being a tough recruit, and does it essentially hurt in the long run?
