<p>Well, MBA admission at top schools is no longer something where you can say “Here are my stats, am I in?”. Your numerical stats are okay, by that I mean they lie somewhere within the average admitted applicant pool’s. But that can be said about almost every applicant.</p>

<p>Things will come down to how you present yourself AND what Harvard is looking for. Since I don’t know either of those all I can say is, good luck.</p>

<p>Thomas, you’re certainly right. I guess I’m just looking to see if I am even in the running or not. Also, I’d love suggestions about how I can best present myself.
Thanks!</p>

<p>Ok, update. My GRE was 610 V and 680 M. Is this going to kill my chances?!</p>

<p>Please speculate.　：）</p>
