Stratus Admissions Counseling Odds Assessment: 10%

Ms. Woman Power, it’s Lisa Cummings with Stratus Admissions. With a near perfect GPA and a 750 GMAT, you should have earned the right to apply to Harvard.

With just 2 years work experience, you will have to present a really compelling case to the admissions committee at any school. Why the rush? Might you wait a few years to build some solid skils and a develop a clearer post degree plan? It it hard to give a true assessment as I don’t have a good picture of your career to date. I like your extracurriculars but you will need to show professional impact as well. I strongly suggest that you hone your Why MBA story over the next few months. Your post MBA goal is vague- what type of non profit do you hope to start and why will you need an MBA to do that? While your stats are strong, there are a lot of gaps that need to be filled before you start on your applications. Best of luck.
