Harvard 2+2 Inquiry

<p>I know this program is supposedly for designed for non-business undergrad majors. I am a Junior math major at boston college with minors in economics and islamic civilization. gpa: 3.77/4.00. never taken the gmat, act in h.s. was 32. and i'm a guy. Are the first two of my concentrations different enough from business to really be considered for this program? In addition, what kind of jobs/support is there for the 2 years of work? Could I work for the treasury or something? I only ask since to study abroad I won a David L. Boren National security Education program scholarship to study in Morocco, and since the scholarship was government funded, I owe them one year of work. I am hoping to apply as like a gs-7 economist for treasury to fulfill this. just lookin for if i should even apply/what are the chances.</p>

<p>My son finished his undergraduate degree (applied math) this spring and will be starting at HBS under the 2+2 program in the fall of 2013. He was admitted under 2+2 just before he started his senior year of college so it made his senior year a whole bunch less stressful.</p>

<p>My advice is to apply - what do you have to lose? Let HBS tell you no, don’t tell yourself no. I think the 2+2 program has evolved from one looking almost exclusively for math/science/engineering kids to a broader group so I think your background is certainly favorable.</p>

<p>Regarding jobs for those two years, my son found 2 (almost 3) very good jobs in the Boston area all heavily involving math so this seems to be a good time to be graduating with a math degree.</p>

<p>BTW, my daughter is a sophomore at BC (Fenwick last year, Walsh this year) and I went to BC back in the 1970’s.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>“I think the 2+2 program has evolved from one looking almost exclusively for math/science/engineering kids to a broader group so I think your background is certainly favorable.”</p>

<p>The 2+2 has evolved from one looking almost exclusively for math/science/engineering kids to one that also try to lure humanities and social science undergrads with high GPA from law schools such as Columbia, UChicago, and NYU.</p>

<p>"My undergraduate concentration is in a business-related field, and I have had a lot of business exposure. Is 2+2 the right program for me?</p>

<p>When the 2+2 Program was originally created it primarily targeted students who were not already on a business track (i.e. students studying the liberal arts, sciences, engineering, etc.). However, we are now encouraging students from all undergraduate majors to apply; that includes those with concentrations and experiences in business-related fields."</p>

<p>I am a senior at Brandeis, B.S in Health Science and Business. GPA 3.76
I am working on my senior honors thesis about commercial surrogacy, does that add any value to my application?
GMAT ranges from 630-690
I had 3-4 internships in different hospitals in Boston, ranging from marketing, clinical research to Development. I worked as research assistant for a professor at Brandeis.
As for extra curricular activities, I have been Marketing Coordinator for Parents Weekend, Event Coordinator for Cultural Club, and Coordinator for a big production that showcase performances from different clubs on campus.</p>

<p>Is it possible for me to be chosen?</p>
