Hi,
Thanks for posting, and congrats on the 750 overall GMAT, very strong. You have a lot of positives in your profile, including opportunities from your military experience where you can describe leadership & teamwork, people & project management. Your previous academics are quite strong.
Generally when coming from a military background, a few key points I like to remind applicants include:
-spend some time really brainstorming about the skills you've gained during your military time, specifically leadership, teamwork, people & project management skills
-also brainstorm specific examples of how you've developed and used those skills, to be ready to tell stories and anecdotes demonstrating those experiences and skills
-If you are able to do the 2 points above, military experience is appreciated and generally you DO have a lot of skills that would translate to management.
-You also want to ensure that you show that you've done some research, and that you know what you are getting into with the MBA, and that it's not just something you have chosen for lack of other alternatives. You want to show that you've put some thought into your next career steps, and that you KNOW you do NEED this degree and how it will help you!
As you may know, Stanford is quite a reach for just about anyone given how selective it is
, but still worth giving it a shot. Hopefully with strong applications/essays/interviews etc, you would have a decent shot at the other schools on your list if all goes well. If you'd like to chat further at any point just let us know (we have a free consult option at www.mbamission.com/consult) or feel free to chime back in here. Good luck!
