Dear Mohamed,

If you are planning to apply to Stanford and Harvard in the next year, then I think it will be tough to gain admission. These are two of the most highly selective and competitive schools, and you will be competing against thousands of other international students for a few slots. While you appear to have a strong foundation and some interesting experiences, your GMAT is below average and you have minimal work experience. You might consider working for 2-3 years prior to applying. This experience will give you some examples for your essays and add richness to your application. The extra time will also give you a chance to take the GMAT again and increase your score at least 30 points.

Best of luck,
Lisa
