About Me:

Having grown up in a small rural town in Alaska, I always wondered what else was possible in the world.

  • John A. Byrne, P&Q Founder & Editor-In-Chief | Odds Assessment: 20%

    My expert colleagues are much more positive about your chances at Stanford than I am. But it’s not because I don’t think you are a terrific candidate. As the son of immigrants, you graduated as a first-generation American college student with a near perfect GPA and a solid GMAT score of 720. If I were Kirsten Moss at the GSB, I would admit you in a heartbeat for all that you have accomplished. You didn’t grow up with a silver spoon tucked in your mouth and you weren’t surrounded by white collar professional role models who could counsel and guide you. You have a strong personal story based on the choices you’ve made and the person you’ve become. But here’s the rub: You are at …

  • Odds Assessment: 35%

    Dear Mr.Global Innovator: Emily here from The MBA Exchange. I loved reading about your background. As a first time visitor to Alaska this past summer, I can at least somewhat appreciate what it must have been like to grow up there. Beautiful but so different than the continental U.S. Top MBA programs will like your first generation college student story, your experience starting a company, your excellent undergrad record and your continued connection to your alma mater. The 720 is on the lower end for these top schools which may hold you back. I recommend your talk about your background in your essays, if you haven’t already, and make sure your goals are crisp and clear. As they …

    Hi, Mr. Global Innovator, this is Julie-Anne Heafey from mbaMission. Wow, I love your story and you remind me a lot of a wonderful client I worked with last year with a very similar background. I’m not seeing where the invitation to interview is showing in the above – but if you were invited, congratulations and good luck!! If that’s not correct and you’re still pre-application, since Stanford is so challenging for admission, expand your list to include more schools…especially Berkeley (and perhaps others) through the Consortium. I think you’d be an amazing fit there, and you could get a significant scholarship. I’ve had clients get full rides through the Consortium; it’s a fantastic program! I agree with another expert, …
