I think that HBS and GSB are still going to be tough for you (and anyone)- but with GSB if you can talk about a big problem that you want to solve and DEMONSTRATE that you've already started to tackle this problem AND that you can share how GSB helps you to solve this problem even more-- then -- and only then-- do I suggest taking the time to apply there. I do think that having a consultant to challenge you along the way to really tap into how to tell your unique story can be helpful. For HBS I think you have a shot as I see a lot of leadership. If your heart is set on trying HBS/Standford/Wharton-- I've seen candidates with less impressive stats than yours break through somewhere-- I'd say your odds are best at CBS, then Wharton, then HBS then GSB. But I'd be glad to provide more insight on a consult if you would like. Stratus adds great value to anyone looking at these top schools because we work collaboratively so you will have people from every top MBA program providing input to your applications along the way. In short-- I'm impressed and think you have a bright future! Reach out if you want more guidance on a free consult: https://stratusadmissionscounseling.com/consult/
