Well, first off, congrats on accumulating at such a young age an amazing number of impressive accomplishments. Your GRE score, eight points above the Stanford class average, is super impressive but so are the internships you have been able to land in PE, VC and IT consulting. Your completion of Tuck’s Bridge program is a reflection of your smarts and your ambitions.

Well, first off, congrats on accumulating at such a young age an amazing number of impressive accomplishments. Your GRE score, eight points above the Stanford class average, is super impressive but so are the internships you have been able to land in PE, VC and IT consulting. Your completion of Tuck’s Bridge program is a reflection of your smarts and your ambitions. There is no doubt whatsoever that you are a serious and viable candidate for Stanford’s deferred admission program, the most selective admissions of any prestige business school in the world. That said, this is an applicant pool overflowing with stellar candidates, the majority of which have profiles as impressive as your own. So your odds will center to a great deal on your personal narrative and how compelling your story is beyond all these early achievements. I think your odds of an interview are very good and your odds of an acceptance are well above the average admit rate. But don’t be terribly disappointed if you are turned down because something like 80% of the applicants to Stanford are fully qualified to get into the MBA program but only 6% do. Good luck. I am certainly rooting for you!
