It was a long journey for me to learn to become a leader, and I plan on writing my application on the process.

You clearly are in the pocket for a 2+2 admission. You’re at the right school. You have performed well there in a STEM field and you have HBS’ median 730 GMAT score. You also have interned (and may possibly have a full-time job already set up) at a highly selective bulge bracket bank. And you are a woman with an admirable goal to pave the way for others in a field dominated by men. What is there not to like about that? Unless you give HBS a reason not to accept you (in other words, you poorly executed on the application or you get an interview and flunk it), you are sitting pretty.
Hi Ms. IB Deferred! This is Kate Richardson, Senior Admissions Consultant here. Hope your final semester is going well despite all the disruptions right now. There is a lot to like in your profile — great school, great GPA especially with the dual major and heavy quant focus, and a great GMAT too. You are right in line with Harvard’s 3.7 / 730 averages. With an internship and presumably full time offer at a bulge bracket bank, those programs will have confidence in your future career prospects. You also seem to have strong on-campus leadership. A track record of leadership, even if it took you some time to find the right style, is a trait of all the successful deferred applicants I have seen. I …

A track record of leadership, even if it took you some time to find the right style, is a trait of all the successful deferred applicants I have seen. I like where you’re heading with your essay theme on leadership and am curious what factors / people / experiences influenced your journey and what specifically you learned in the process. If you can execute these applications well, I think you have a really good shot!
