Very good strong chances on the information provided 👍
Not sure how Stanford is with PE but the rest are a great fit. Internships and volunteering may not really matter - it is a nice touch but that's not what is going to carry you through the doors. Good luck in R2!!!

Hello @hftb,

I hope you are doing good. With a stellar GMAT score of 760 and 3.5 years of finance experience, particularly at Goldman Sachs, your transition to a front-end role in Private Equity post-MBA aligns well with your impressive career trajectory. Graduating from IIT-D and contributing to diversity as a female applicant from India further strengthens your candidacy. While your 3.5 GPA is decent, provide context for any grade deflation at your undergraduate institution. Craft a tailored application strategy, emphasizing your unique experiences and how each MBA program aligns with your career goals. Your competitive profile positions you well for admission to Harvard, Stanford GSB, Sloan MIT, Columbia, and Wharton. Best of luck with the admissions process!
