<p>i don't know how many people here are qualified to give HBS chances...but you look impressive i guess?</p>

<p>Business schools want at least four or five years of real work experience. Rarely do they admit students right out of the college. The Business School board here at CC might help you better.</p>

<p>I've heard that Stanford takes you right out of college.</p>

<p>Stanford takes almost no one right out of college nor does Harvard. What is a 3.6 at Columbia, is it summa or magna? I would try the GMAT again for a 750 plus. But the most important thing is a great job for 4 or 5 years.</p>

<p>You need strong work experience with a good set of recommendations. From your summer experiences, I can tell that you should have no trouble landing one of those. Are you mainly interested in investment banking?</p>
