1st year at HBS. I've generally found the 2+2 admits to be unimpressive, and think that the deferred structure actually disincentivizes growth and brings students to campus who have taken "chill" routes knowing they had a back-up option of going to school. Just FYI for people going through the app process now

Chill

One of my buddies totally falls into this category. He’s only worked in summer sales since being admitted. He’s a sharp dude, but has had a very chill lifestyle since getting in.
