Mr. Payments To Sustainability

Hi Mr. Payments to Sustainability, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. You are a great example as to why I think engineering is such a great background to have (I am of course biased :). The problem solving you learn in engineering can lead you in so many directions. Let’s start with stats – while your GPA is lower than Stanford’s average, I think you clearly make up for that with the stellar GRE score. Based on your current title, I am assuming you’ve had solid upward trajectory in your career – and strong leadership. Make sure you focus on the impacts you’ve had in your career. Because Stanford’s is such an introspective application, I’d encourage you to dig into why transition to sustainability – based on the limited info in the profile here – it is not jumping out. Yours is not a common path out of an MBA and I think that is great – how do you want to change the world with innovation in extremely important and essential services? Because you entered a new tech concept at the time, you can show you have the skills to jump into a new environment and learn what is necessary to be successful. Because you are talking about making a change, you will need to show that you have enough insight into where you are going to hit the ground running in what are 2 really fast years. Stanford touts that they have the resources to help anyone be successful, so it is important that you can articulate what you need and convince admissions you can be successful. I think your chances are higher than average for GSB – and would suggest you add some other schools to your list that would be strong in sustainability: Haas, Ross, Tuck jump to mind. Good luck to you!
