Hello,
I have applied to Stanford's MBA program for the past 2 years, and I refuse to take the hint. In my first attempt I received an interview, but did not this year. I believe likely because of the increased competitiveness and / or one of my essays likely missed the mark.
Stanford has been my dream school and I participated in their Summer Institute during my undergraduate term. I am researching other schools and my initial picks are MIT and Kellogg. Could you please advise?
Some quick notes:
Awards etc:

Some quick notes:
- I graduated with a 3.58 GPA from UCSD with honors with highest distinction in Economics (Top 10 public Economics program).
My GMAT score is 720 with a 44/44 breakdown, 6 for AWA.
- I have been with my company for nearly 3 years, it is my only full time experience. I was recently promoted to Senior Business Analyst. It is a small (~150 employees) private company in a unique sector of financial services / consumer credit. I work directly with C-level executives on all project tasks and am considered one of a small number of experts on consumer credit, risk, financial modeling etc.
- During college I was heavily involved in my Fraternity holding three executive positions including a two-year term as President. I organized several major events, philanthropies etc. I also founded another student organization and joined two honor societies.
After college - I continued to be involved in my fraternity at a national level on committees and appointments.
Other involvements - yes yes.... this is a weak spot.
Awards etc:
- Eagle scout
Third degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do
SAM, UCSD Distinguished Service Award
