So while your stats are impressive, it is just such a long shot for anyone at Stanford that I am never comfortable telling anyone their odds there-- but I do think you have the right to apply and that you certainly will not get in if you don't take the leap to apply! You have the chance to share what matters most to you and-- most importantly-- why -- when you write this essay. I encourage you to see if you can connect some of the dots in this story-- hence me asking what were those articles about? Maybe there is some kind of theme that can help you support what matters most to you. I think your odds at Anderson and ISB are stronger and it is always a good strategy to have a mix of stretch/target/safety schools when you apply so well done on this front.
If you do want to talk to someone at Stratus, I recommend that you reach out to our counselor Soterios Rouman as he is a Stanford GSB alum and may be able to give you some further insight into your profile. You can find time on Soterios' calendar by connecting to schedule a free Stratus consultation
