What’s not to like about your profile? To be honest, I can’t see anything that HBS won’t like about you, from your self-managed switch from microbiology and biotech project work in France to working in a coveted role for an MBB firm, and on to your varied and diverse extracurricular pot.

An MBA seems the right route to give you the business skills to support your undergraduate and really, I can’t see either HBS or Stanford giving you other than a warm welcome. In fact, if you put in a really stellar and authentic application, they might even end up fighting over you. Good luck!
