Hi Mr. Security Consultant,
This is Debbie Choy, GSB alum and Senior Consultant at mbaMission. Congratulations on getting a promotion in your first year at a Big 4 Consulting firm.

Hi Mr. Security Consultant,

It looks like your career trajectory is on a good track with managing teams and projects. I also like that you are very active in your community with mentoring others.

Also, although you’re within the range of work experience that schools like, HBS tends to prefer more experienced candidates. Consider bumping up your GMAT score and applying in 1-2 years to be a more competitive candidate for HBS. My estimates of your chances are based on your profile now, but if you can address the GMAT and get more work experience, you could have a solid shot at Harvard. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!
