The challenge as I see it for you is telling all your stories in a compelling way within the essay word limits. But that’s a good challenge to have. Although your GPA is below the average at GSB, I think your strengths in the other areas should make up for it. Overall, I think you have a lot going for you, and would have a good shot at Stanford! I’m happy to discuss other specific questions about your profile in a 1:1 consult. I’m rooting for you!

Stratus Admissions Counseling Odds Assessment: 5%

Hi Mr. Latino Healthcare, Lisa Cummings of Stratus Admissions here. I am giving you 5% odds which sounds low but that is about the admission rate for GSB, your top school. I assume that you have converted your MIT GPA to a 4.0 scale for the purposes of this assessment. Your stats, while in the mid 80% range for Stanford, are a bit below average. However, your personal story is not al all average and you will want to leverage that and your professional experience in your applications. Your ability to overcome health issues abroad and them immigrate to the US and thrive in a competitive academic setting is compelling. I like your work fundraising (16 marathons!) and in support of the LGBTQ+ …

Your ability to overcome health issues abroad and them immigrate to the US and thrive in a competitive academic setting is compelling. I like your work fundraising (16 marathons!) and in support of the LGBTQ+ community at MIT. Does your advocacy continue now? I’d like to hear more about that as well as your work with the non-profit- that should highlight solid leadership skills. I would also like to know more about your professional wins. How were you able to reduce healthcare costs – this is impressive and will be of interest to the adcomm. Once all these pieces are fleshed out, I think your odds should increase. I wish you the best of luck!
