Hey Everyone!
I just first want to say thanks for taking the time to read my questions. Now here's my question:
I was reading up on some application advice and it mentioned that showing the admissions committee who you are is important to getting admitted to Grad School. It sounds like advice where you put your best self forward and hope for the best. The book MBAmissions mentioned that they have had people who were IBankers or Management Consultants worrying that they weren't diverse/unique enough to get admitted. The book also mentioned that there were people on the other end of the spectrum where they were just teachers or something not as "prestigious" in the business sense worry about not having the "right" background or brand name companies on their resume so show off their qualifications.
I guess first question is, do you guys know of anyone who had very unique story that got in? And what was the story?
My second question is that I haven't been doing well in my career. I've decided to pursue working at a startup. If it does really well, I'm sticking with it. But if it goes to the ground or if I exit the startup at some point, I'd want to go to Grad school. Do any of you know cases where people who worked at startups end up going to Grad school and how many of them out of the total class were there?
If it helps you, I have a 720 GMAT score and a 3.7 GPA so I have my eyes and heart set on going to the top 10 universities like Harvard, Booth, Kellogg, Wharton, Stanford etc.

There are literally thousands of people with "unique" stories that got in to business school. And thousands of people who went to work at startups and then went to business school. You are doing nothing out of the ordinary. You sound like you have a great profile, so don't worry too much. Work at your startup and drop some applications and see what your options are.
