As a first-gem college grad at a Top Ten university in the U.S., you have a lot going for you. Your stats are superb: a 3.95 GPA in a highly rigorous subject along with a GRE score that is three points above Stanford’s average. Your internship at a FAANG company and your fantastic extras, from starting a Tech for Good club to participation in Girls in Tech, just round this profile out in a way that will put you at the top of the pile of deferred applicants.

As you know, Stanford is choosy with the lowest admit rate for any prestige MBA program in the world. But if anyone has a shot, it’s you. If your clear and succinct presentation here is any indication of the application you have filed, I know you will at the very least get an interview. Just make sure your recommenders strongly reinforce the main points you have made here. I’m betting on you! My guess is that two of the three places you are targeting will give you an admit. Whether that includes Stanford is anyone’s guess, given the random nature of elite MBA admissions.
