Is it impossible to get in a deferred admission program (HBS/CBS/MIT) with a 700 GMAT? Undergrad GPA is crazy high (+Dean's list..) and have a position already in a BB post graduation, good exp/storie

I know I sound discouraging but couple of things I don't know your story, you might have a kick ass story, you might a URM, you also have youth on your side - you cna retake the GMAT - you have the potential to become a stronger candidate when you apply with 2-4 yoe - but also I'm certainly not an admissions consultant - get a better idea of where you stand from a free consultation or something or you can submit your profile on Poets&Quants MBA Watch and get a free profile review

My colleague got admitted HBS 2+2 with 710 it’s fine

Is it impossible....No it is not but going off what you've said so far, there's nothing special about your profile, 700 is below average score at the M7, Dean's list nothing special - those lists are generally not that hard to get onto, going to a BB after graduation - good but now you're in a overrepresented pool of candidates - going off those 3 things respectively with a checklist, id give you a Check Minus, a Check, and a Check Plus

Ya now I would be talking out of my ass, I have no idea, obviously these things make your profile unique and it'll probably help but idk by how much - this is when you'd need to check in with a consultant
