an MBA with no work experience would probably not be beneficial to you. A lot of the issues you’ll discuss in class will require an understanding of the human side of business. I am not talking about technical stuff but rather how colleagues react to reorganizations, the politics, gossip, lack of motivation, toxic environment, toxic boss…the irrationality of some business decisions.

I am freelancing, interning (as right opportunities come by) + building a startup, so it’s not like I have no clue on what goes on. But I’m not out of college yet and i’m thinking on doing an mba immediately after college since once the startup scales (or I get involved in some new project), I won’t be able to do an mba then.

that’s why i’m stuck on whether my chances of getting into stanford are even 1% possible or mot

They do, but you would have an uphill battle with that. Are you open to deferred?

Hi Michelesaragat, wrong chat but just wondering how it went for you with HBS? I applied in round 2 not r1. Do applicants from the waitlist get additional feedback? Thanks
