  • John A. Byrne, P&Q Founder & Editor-In-Chief | Odds Assessment: 25%

    Nisha’s right: Acceptance to Harvard’s 2+2 program is very competitive and unpredictable. But if you’ve walked over a fire barefoot, you should be able to figure out how to walk on the marble floors in Baker Library, Harvard Business School’s iconic campus building. You have the stats: a 4.0 and a 740 GMAT. But you’ll be walking on embers again against a class profile where 57% of the admitted students have STEM undergraduate backgrounds. You’re in the economics/business bucket which isn’t tiny: 24% of the latest 2+2 admits did major in Econ or biz. And not only did you do your undergrad at an Ivy League school, you also played varsity football which counts for a lot given the investment and discipline required to play …

  • Gatehouse Admissions Odds Assessment: 20%

    Oh, youā€™re the kind of applicant that makes me so happy to be doing what I do ā€“ I love seeing bright, talented people who know what they want to do. Itā€™s always inspiring. Honestly, youā€™re absolutely b-school material ā€“ if you keep on the path youā€™ve carved for yourself, thereā€™s nothing that will stop you from attending a top school. Look, the 2+2 program is really designed for those who arenā€™t likely to find there way to business school down the road ā€“ from everything I gather, thatā€™s not you.

    Hi, it’s Nisha with mbaMission! You have solid academics, and props to you for securing great internships and already identifying a logical career path that lines up with your passion in renewable energy. (And, wow to the walking over fire barefoot!)

    The 2+2/deferred programs are both competitive and unpredictable regarding who gets accepted, but a couple of things we’ve seen 1.) the programs primarily are targeting STEM and humanities majors – though they are getting a bit more flexible in this area, having studied econ puts you outside of this category, and 2.) Outstanding extracurricular leadership is something the programs weigh very heavily – I see you have been quite involved in school with football, research, and the fraternity, but I would need …

    Renewable energy funds are popping up left and right. Great space to be in, Jeff Bezos just announced his new fund of $10 billion.

    You've done some BIG things. I love the backstory and it would seem to offer a great deal to the application process. I'd think some more full-time work experience would go a long way, but you do have a great GPA and good GMAT score. I do like the experience you bring with you, but would think that more of it might go a long way in helping improve your chances.
