Let me just offer this advice to everyone reading these MBA Watch assessments. No one should ever apply to Stanford GSB only. The school boasts the most selective prestigious MBA program in the world. It’s important to note that the GSB’s 6.9% admit rate doesn’t even begin to tell you just how selective it is because that percentage is for an already self-selecting pool of candidates who believe they have a real shot at getting admitted. In other words, the competition is really severe. Your low GPA from a non-feeder university (there wasn’t a single GSB grad in the Class of 2020 who went to Delhi University) make Stanford highly improbable. Sure, you’re GRE score is three points above the class average. But I …

Your low GPA from a non-feeder university (there wasn’t a single GSB grad in the Class of 2020 who went to Delhi University) make Stanford highly improbable. Sure, you’re GRE score is three points above the class average. But I don’t believe it will offset your GPA from a non-feeder school. You should be applying to at least six schools (not Stanford) that would allow you to achieve your goals and fulfill your dreams. You don’t have to go to Stanford for that.
If you truly want to join or start a non-profit, make Harvard your priority. Stanford aims for mostly STEM background and looks for people with an attitude of entrepreneurship (Don’t wait to start, just go type). Very slim chance in Stanford. Harvard looks for Impact in Community. I don’t know which International non-profit you are working, but it should be a brand name like Red Cross, otherwise very difficult for top-tier B Schools.
