Hi Mr. Nuclear Vet, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. Wow, where to start – first, thank you for your service to our country. There is so much that stands out in your profile. First, your military experience will be valued at any program – and in particular it sounds like you have had interesting international experiences both personally and professionally. You can leverage that international knowledge as you are pairing wines with your new found sommelier skills. Your leadership both at the nuclear reactor as well as in East Africa stand above the norm. With almost 9 and will be 10 years of experience at matriculation, you will want to answer why now is the right time for you to get your MBA. You are above the 80% range of 3-8 years for an MBA. I think consulting is a logical goal for you – and if biomedical is really where you want to be, you may want to look at boutique biotech consulting firms. With large consulting firms, you are generally a generalist for the first couple years. What I don’t see in what you have submitted is why biotech/global healthcare? This is clearly something that is top of mind now – so make sure that you don’t appear to just want to solve the problem of the day – and explain why this is the right path for you. I think your chances are better than double the normal at Stanford. Best of luck!
