Hbs loves PE more than consulting and ibanking but again there’s at least 200+ ex McK and ex Goldman PE folks in every HBS class, your ECs need to be stellar
My partner has similar stats. I think you’re relatively strong for an interview. That said, there will be ~50 people with very similar stats to you applying, and there aren’t enough slots for everyone. I would focus on communicating a compelling narrative for “why MBA”
Sorry to barge in !
But, whatever you are doing right now professionally is probably what most of the people who are doing MBA (M7,T15 etc) will get so why are you planning to do an MBA ?
Also, your profile is stellar, if you are non-Asian you should be able to get it, if you don’t, I am not sure who will 🥱
Largely to meet interesting people. Am Asian but thank you
Mostly just a bit worried about the gpa and ECs post college thanks
You and I had very similar backgrounds (my GPA somewhat better and in STEM, though you did make EM at McKinsey). You are right to be worried about your GPA... I'll never know what kept me out of H/S (now at W and it's a blast, btw), and I would suspect that GPA was a big factor from the ORM PE group (which as you know is ferociously competitive). But write a compelling story (or the best that you can) and give it your best take - hopefully will work better for you than it did for me.
yep go for it
Easy rejection
