Hi, it’s Jennifer Jackson from Stratus Admissions. Lots to like about what you’ve included here! Fantastic extracurriculars and some great accomplishments in PE. Adcoms will love the global experience and foreign languages, and your stats are strong. What I think you’ll really need to concentrate on is the WHY behind your goals in PE. You discuss your passion for helping disenfranchised people, but how does that tie into your goals in PE? Networking with like-minded people isn’t a career goal but the result of being in an MBA program. Why do you need the MBA?

Hi, it’s Jennifer Jackson from Stratus Admissions. Lots to like about what you’ve included here! Fantastic extracurriculars and some great accomplishments in PE. Adcoms will love the global experience and foreign languages, and your stats are strong. What I think you’ll really need to concentrate on is the WHY behind your goals in PE. You discuss your passion for helping disenfranchised people, but how does that tie into your goals in PE? Networking with like-minded people isn’t a career goal but the result of being in an MBA program. Why do you need the MBA? You talk about the soft skills you want to develop, so perhaps you can talk about how you might have been more effective in your role had you had X or Y skill that you can gain from the GSB. Why is PE the route you want to go? Stanford will want to see some thinking about how you’ll change the world once you’re out, so show them you’ve done that and have ideas to do X or Y once you’re armed with the MBA. It’s the most competitive school in the US but a 20% chance is way better than the average. Good luck!
