  • mbaMission Odds Assessment: 10%

    Hi, it’s Nisha from mbaMission. I assume that you are a deferred/2+2 MBA candidate? These programs seek three core elements: strong academics, extracurricular leadership, and professional promise. I certainly see the first two in your profile – but, you’ll want to make it very clear in your applications the impact you’ve made in your organizations. If you have had great internships as well, this would really help. And, although the programs won’t expect you to have your career mapped out now, they will want to understand what motivates your desire to get an MBA – what are you envisioning that you’d like to work on in the business side of STEM, since that is quite broad?

    I should also mention that while acceptance to …

  • Stratus Admissions Counseling Odds Assessment: 10%

    Hi Mr. STEM Minor, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. Sounds like you are a deferred candidate, so probably looking to apply this Spring, work for a couple years with a guaranteed position in a future class 2-5 years down the line.

Generally we average stats for deferred candidates to be higher than the overall average of the class – good news is that you are there for both HBS and GSB. Getting some experience at a tech or start up will give you the experience you need for post-MBA job searching. Where …

The Community Currently Rates The Odds At: 9%

  • 5% | 4 years ago

  • What are you applying for? When do you want to matriculate? If you are applying for the 2+2, based on your profile, 5% odds. If you are trying to go from undergrad directly to Harvard it will be 0%. The application is pretty clear about having at least 2 years of WE upon matriculation before you submit. Maybe you should finish your degree in physics? Tough sell at this point, but you have a good GMAT and social work, so now you can focus on professional impact. Good luck
