So here’s the deal: Stanford loves PE candidates. Year in and year out, the schools places a higher percentage of MBA grads into PE than any other school, including Wharton, Columbia, and Harvard. This past year, one in five graduates from Stanford landed PE jobs. That happens because the GSB admits and enrolls a large number of students from private equity. The fact that you have had two promotions in four years at a mid-market private equity player is very much in your favor. So is your GPA of 3.82, a tad above the class average of 3.75.

I am giving you odds well above the admit rate for the school based on your work experience and track record which I believe Stanford will find enticing.
