Unrealistic ambitions? I’m afraid to agree with you, particularly for Stanford. Don’t get me wrong. I’m a sucker for a first generation story and think the fact you were able to achieve a law degree and make a successful career out of it is super impressive. But a 2.0 GPA from a large state university is a non-starter for Stanford, particularly for an Asian or Indian with a 710 GMAT. MBA programs like Stanford only take the top 1% to 2% of the class out of a public university. Just take a look at the feeder schools to the GSB on our website.

I also don’t think Wharton or Booth will happen, either. If you really want an MBA, you’ll have to look at schools below T10 to T20. Sorry to deliver the bad news.
Too many drawbacks on the application in a competitive pool as an Asian/Indian applicant. There are a number of people with equal first-gen stories that have much higher stats.
Mr. John Byrne put it nicely.
The truth is I don’t see a T25 happening for you. T25’s don’t take 2.0 students. You’d be lucky to get into a T50
No way you are getting into the GSB with a 2.0.
