  • mbaMission Odds Assessment: 10%

    Mr. Community College,
    This is Debbie Choy, GSB alum and Senior Consultant at mbaMission. I think you have a lot of strengths in your profile! I like that you pulled yourself up by the bootstraps to attend Michigan, and end up in banking and now a hedge fund. That said, it’s important to weave into your narrative how you overcame challenges and why you are passionate about social impact investing. I imagine your life experiences have given you a unique perspective on this topic. Also, have you been involved with community organizations? The admissions committee does like to see that you’ve demonstrated leadership within your community through volunteering and other activities. Also, these activities would give you another perspective on how to make a social impact. …

  • Stratus Admissions Counseling Odds Assessment: 10%

    Mr. Community College – Thanks for posting your profile. Susan Cera here from Stratus.

    I’m giving what I think are your odds for Stanford GSB which I’m putting slightly above the overall admit rate. I suspect that if you are able to unpack a narrative around your personal upbringing and connect it to the vision you have for social impact investing you will get strong consideration. While your stats are below average, your story could carry you.

    Your odds at Wharton and MIT Sloan are likely about the same (being below their averages) because they aren’t as interested in the ‘spike’ factor that Stanford looks for.

    Wishing you all the best on your application journey.

    Hey man best of luck. My profile is EXTREMELY similar to yours (first gen CC -> top public -> hedge fund and a low GPA). I have a 3.0 while working in college and a 770 GMAT. I got rejected from GSB + HBS but invites to CBS + Kellogg. I have strong volunteer activity for the underprivileged which is what has set me apart.
