" ... i've been involved in a startup since april 2007, n me and another guy both started it, the fact is, there is no proof on paper tht i started along with him or that i hav a partnership in the company.. But, i've been involved in the company's work largely n made very good progress in the expansion of the company... do the admission committee ask for specific proof as i don't have any... how'd u recommend me to continue???"
It is good that you are applying to an MBA early on in your career. Applying to HBS 2+2 program which is meant for college seniors gives you a better chance of getting accepted into the MBA program as opposed to applying while you are a normal applicant. Even if you don't get the result as you might have expected from HBS you will be pleased that you took the time to apply from which you would have learnt about whether you really want to do an MBA and why do you want to do it soon. Also in the process you will learn about yourself and the opportunities surrounding you which you could have utilized/ or will utilize later on and a lot more.
Regarding your question my opinion goes as follows,
It is definitely advisable to carry all the proof with you. You should have got some proof especially if you started a company with a partner. Without proof you can apply but the adcom will find ways to test whether your claims are genuine by their questions. I would advise any candidate to be truthful in the MBA application process not only in mentioning your extra curricular activities, or unique things but also to questions such as why you want to do an MBA and so on. Answering these questions truthfully will help you realize your goals more accurately (since you are not yet a college senior your goals might be varying). I wish you all the the best with your application process and since the application deadline is July 1st, I think you will have sufficient time to get the proof that you have started the business along with your partner.
