Chances at H/S/W
My brother doesn't have a WSO profile and wanted me to post for him:
Harvard undergrad, Economics (3.6 GPA, cum laude) 780 GMAT Solid but not extraordinary ECs
2 years at GS/MS in San Francisco 2 years at well known PE firm (think Permira, Warburg, General Atlantic) on the west coast
Recs: solid Essays: should be well written and interesting
Can he be reasonably confident of getting into one of H/W/S, or is it a crapshoot?
You’re fucked. 790 or bust. And Economics? Really? Harvard Econ is a joke. Everyone knows you need a 4.0 in that shit to be considered.
Sorry dude, but someone with the stats you stated should know better than a bunch of college kids. Take a lap & revaluate were you're getting advice from. Oh & cum laude at Harvard's a 3.75.
No chance.
Wharton and Stanford have a new policy called "3 + 0.6." Basically, if you went to WHYP and have a 3.6 EXACTLY, not higher or lower, they will put you in a preferred admission pile. Harvard will soon follow their lead. Congrats! HWS is a possibility for you!
i heard harvard is adopting 2.0+2.0
with grade inflation rampant at this school, a 3.6 is basically laxbro status academic performance
You wish faggot. Laxbro's are the smartest people on the planet. Take a lap.
wtf, what kind of joke thread is this.
judging from your past posts, you are fairly young and trying to masturbate to the dream of the aforementioned profile.
Why is everyone so upset about this thread?
I said I was posting for my brother. And 3.5 is required for cum laude at Harvard - I would know because my brother did it.
I have seen a lot of people with better GPA and similar gmat getting rejected so it doesn't seem like a common sense question.
People on this board are generally very pissed off.
If you have worse credentials than them, they tell you that you are a lazy slacker who will fail. Example: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/ivy-leave-ba-with-terrible-gpa-an…
If you have better credentials than them, they tell you that you are a gloating son of a bitch. So you are a gloating son of a bitch.
Okay, I am just gonna go and hide somewhere and fall into the depths of mediocrity, mull over how to come back.
People are being sarcastic idiot.
