<p>Hi,</p>

<p>What are my chances @ HBS , I'm a sophomore student now , will apply next year.The reason that I want to goto business school is to become an entrepreneur</p>

<h2>Acads</h2>

Major : Electronic Engineering
GPA : 8.40/10.00 (Top 15% of class)
GMAT : I've not taken it yet , but I think I'll be able to pull off a 750</p>

<h2>Skills/Experience/ECs</h2>

<p>I'm sort of a computer geek and know over 13-14 different programming languages.</p>

<p>CoFounder - mapthegraph! - This is a small social networking based startup that we have just started.</p>

<p>Joint Secretary - Electronic Engineering Society - Its a students society which organizes various technical,cultural and sport events at my college .</p>

<h2>Apart from this , I've written and contributed to many open source projects.</h2>

<p>In which field should I go for an internship next summer? . I've got offers on interesting projects in a couple of research institutes in Europe , but won't this affect my chances for an MBA??</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>You have a really good chance. Keep in mind that your essays and demonstrated leadership ability will play a larger role than your GMAT scores and GPA. Also note that competition for Indians is higher than competition for other ethnicities. Harvard is looking for people who leverage the 2+2 program to change their career path, so the field you intern should be related to the field you intend to enter after you graduate from Harvard Business. Harvard is looking for students with a solid career plan.</p>
