Stanford is just a tough nut to crack. And while you clearly have a lot of promise, including a job with a top hedge fund and a 760 GMAT, I just don’t think Stanford is going to buy it. There are a number of reasons for this, including the fact that the GSB will think that if you really want to go there, you will boomerang back when you have more work experience.

Hello Mr. Deferred MBA! Krista Nannery from mbaMission here. Thanks for posting your amazing stats and extracurriculars. VERY exciting. OK, here’s my quick reaction…you are a business major going to work for a hedge fund. You’re already on the b-school path.

BUT….if anyone has a shot, you do. So I want you to go for it. Perhaps consider MIT Sloan, …

Sorry, I know six apps is a lot but I just think that GSB and HBS will be tough and I want you to have options. Does that make sense? Krista
Great stats and a really cool profile.
