So I have had the pleasure of meeting you, virtually of course, and like your story very much. Sandy and I recently had you on the Friday’s With Sandy show. And everyone can see our detailed analysis here: https://poetsandquants.com/2020/07/03/mba-handicapping-32-year-old-pro-rugby-player-can-he-get-into-harvard-stanford-wharton/?pq-category=admissions&pq-category-2=handicapping-your-mba-odds

But at your age and coming from both a non-feeder undergraduate school and a non-feeder employer, HBS is super hard. As Sandy noted, Yale is your best shot.
