I spent the first two years working in consulting in Greece and other countries in Europe. And I loved it! I was fortunate enough to work next to very inspiring individuals and be part of many project teams that were hard-working but at the same time fun and engaging, which ultimately offered me a solid understanding of business and made me a better person and leader. It was then time for me to serve in the Greek Navy, which is a mandatory requirement for all male individuals that must be fulfilled up until a certain age. [...]

I attended an HBS 2+2 presentation on campus and thought it was a good fit after listening to the HBS representatives speak. It sounded like a low-risk argument with a very high upside. I was a business-focused engineering student pursing a joint program with both the College of Engineering and the Ross School of Business and I knew one day I’d love to get an MBA, so I thought it was a no brainer to apply!

It has always been important to me that I’m able to make a difference in the world. To have impact on any real scale, you need to be able to lead others. Several of the most inspiring leaders that I knew personally were HBS grads. They encouraged me to consider the 2+2 program. I was fairly certain that I would do an MBA at some point and 2+2 would give me more flexibility in my decision making before then. [...]

2+2 made many of my decisions between undergrad and business school much easier. I knew I wanted to go to business school and being admitted four years before attending took a lot of pressure off. I always wanted to take an unconventional path before school and being admitted through 2+2 removed the uncertainty around how that would impact an admissions decision. I knew I had the support of HBS as I charted my own path. [...]
