wat are my chances to make Harvard for the 2009 intake

[amitag25]

European B-schools strongly emphasize that a candidate understands atleast 1 more foreign language apart from English. Do US Ivy league B-schools prefer people knowing multiple languages? I remember I read Tarun Khanna's writing where he told how one of the student at HBS rejected a high paying US job to a marketing job in China for DELL.

I think you need to do some more reading on the entire International B-school admission process and learn more about individual colleges before doing anything else.



He's already in his final year of college. The HBS 2+2 program is for those in the second year of their college

I've been around quite a bit and i havent heard of a single case of a fresher making it to an ivy-league college. The admission is an exception, a blip on the radar and its extremely rare! Colleges rarely admit more than 2%of the class who are freshers and you have to have a really strong and compelling reason to fall into that category.

I would suggest taking the time out to build a profile. Or looking for admission into IIM-A. That too is an ivy-league college and your chances are better.

cryonerve,

First, my profile in brief:
# Indian, Male
# 30yrs, 9 yrs work ex when I join next year
# Acads - avg, from NIT Nagpur (erstwhile REC Nagpur)
# Working in IT, on ERP/CRM. Will have been a Project Manager for almost 3.5 yrs in Aug 2009, PMP certification in 2007
# GMAT 740/6.0 (2008 )
# Have managed initiatives that have directly impacted the bottomline of the organization
# Have managed development of dashboard that enables the CEO to assess Sales VPs' performance (interacted with the directorate office for this)
# Have managed sunset of an organization application

Would you please share your thoughts on how competitive this might be?

More importantly, as far as EC is concerned, I am involved in activities which basically fall into giving back to society. However, all this has been in a contributor's role, not at all as a leader. How much water does it hold in your opinion?

Hi
has anybody applied to HBS 2+2?! or any other fresh college graduate applied to any other B school...

@cryonerve
I have a query for you...could you please tell me about the class profile of HBS 2+2 program...specifically with the GMAT score, Undergraduate degree, GPA in Undergrad, any Indian admits...i did post these questions to the HBS (mailed them but no reply yet)...

Dear Cryonerve/All,

I have done a lot of reading through many threads in pagal, but this is my first post and a very deciding one too since a reply to this post would signal me a go or no go (though it is the same old profile check). I would like to target only for HBS/Stanford/MIT/Northwestern/Cornell, but not sure whether my profile would/can be good enough for one. If it is not a reasonable target then I don't want to waste my time and money by going further. So your expert comments about my profile and any suggestions for improvement are highly valued.

My profile in short:

> 29 yrs, 7 years work ex.
> 3 years in India (before PG), 2 Years in Taiwan (after PG: with the world's largest semiconductor foundry: TSMC), 2 Years in UK (as a technical lead managing around 10 guys), have on site international work experiences also - in dubai, singapore etc for around 1 month each.
> GMAT: 770/ 800
> 10th - 88.3 %
> 12th - 84.5 %
> B.Tech Computer Science & Engg - 73% (CET: College of Engg Thiruvananthapuram - had got admit to NIT Calicut also)
> M.Tech CSE - 7.3/10 (IIT Bombay)

> Have got above average records with the national and state level examinations. I will quote a few here.
# 39th rank (99.85 percentile) in All India GATE 2002 Computer Science for graduate admissions in India.
# 90th rank (99.75 percentile) in Kerala State Engineering Common Entrance Test CEE 1995.
# 99.8 %ile in the IQ test conducted by International High-IQ Community and is currently a member.
# 94th Rank in All India Management Entrance Test 2003 conducted by Symbiosis Center for Management & HRD, Pune.
# 130th Rank in National Talent Search Examination by United Council for Edu. Research & Scientific Learning, 1994.
# 126th Rank in All India M.Tech Entrance 2000 conducted by Indian Institute of Information Technology Bangalore.

> Have certifications in SCJP (90%), SCWCD (88%), SCBCD (92%), SCEA, MCP (94%), PMP, Typing speed (expert level: 90 wpm), Technical support expert etc.
> Have received "Best Performer award" from the company I working now and excellence certificate from DNATA, Emirates Airlines, Dubai.
> Have published a research paper in the area of Semiconductors and Image Processing.
> Extra curricular: Average with some competitions and prizes but never got involved with NGO's or community service.

Could you please share your views on how reasonable my targets are? I am particularly worried about my GPA part. I guess it is at the lower end(7.3) as for the names I have mentioned, but the fact that it is from a more competitive institute (IIT-B) would help? or would my varied international work exp. would help? or if it is too poor for the colleges I have mentioned above and cannot be compensated by anything else then please tell me frankly.

Expecting your earliest and honest reply...

Thank you so much for your time in advance...

Best Regards
Anand
