Hi, Mr. Hopeful Product Business Owner, Julie-Anne Heafey at mbaMission here. While I wish I could boost your hopes, you’ve unfortunately picked the most difficult MBA program in the world to target and you have a few weaknesses in your profile that will likely make your goal challenging. It looks like you’re working for a startup that seems after 4 years to be still in a somewhat preliminary stage. Has it built any other products or has the nutrition education one been in progress all that time? Stanford really tends to bet on the already-successful, so if you’re at a startup, normally it has to have achieved outsize renown with gold plated investor backing and/or customers.

Hi, Mr. Hopeful Product Business Owner, Julie-Anne Heafey at mbaMission here. While I wish I could boost your hopes, you’ve unfortunately picked the most difficult MBA program in the world to target and you have a few weaknesses in your profile that will likely make your goal challenging. It looks like you’re working for a startup that seems after 4 years to be still in a somewhat preliminary stage. Has it built any other products or has the nutrition education one been in progress all that time? Stanford really tends to bet on the already-successful, so if you’re at a startup, normally it has to have achieved outsize renown with gold plated investor backing and/or customers. Beyond that, software developers do not usually present the type of work experience that impresses adcoms (product manager roles are probably the most MBA-friendly, or program managers). Finally, your GMAT is well below the score normally achieved by successful applicants to M7s from your particular category. You can’t afford to be below the average scores, you usually want to be 20-40 points ABOVE the average scores. So, my feeling is that you may need either to wait and improve your profile (retake, gain more MBA-friendly leadership experience, possibly change firms to a FAANG firm since you’ve cracked the interview), or adjust your list significantly. Rooting for your success!
