Which year should I take the Gmat? Are there other programs like HBS 2+2?

I am a rising junior and I am considering to take the Gmat to apply to HBS. However, I feel like I don’t want to take the test, if I can only apply to HBS 2+2 with it. What about Stanford, Wharton etc. Do they offer a similar program?

Further I’d be interested what all the people do who get rejected. Can they use the GMAT scores for other Masters? If so which ones? Can they reuse them after 4 years when they probably apply to HBS regular decision?I heard the scores are valid for 5 years but most schools prefer scores from the past 2 years.
I really don’t know if I should kill myself over the summer just to get a 10% shot at HBS…

Help!
