- It’s rare when an MBA candidate doesn’t have a single blemish on an application to Harvard Business School or Stanford Graduate School of Business. After all, the hurdles are high, from the raw GPAs and standardized test scores, work experience and accomplishments.
Nick checks every box. He has a 3.98 GPA from Harvard College where he majored in economics. He’s got a 770 GMAT score. And he is a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserve as well as an analyst at McKinsey & Co. Nick also founded a Special Olympics tennis program, among other extras that demonstrate his interest beyond himself.
So it was no surprise that he interviewed at HBS last week, and it will be none too surprising if he is also invited to interview at Stanford which will send out most of its admission invites over the next week or so. For Nick, real question is how can he possibly get rejected.
In this episode of Friday’s With Sandy, Nick gets assessment by HBSGuru.com founder Sandy Kreisberg and P&Q founder John A. Byrne.

sandy couldn't believe how impressed he was
Doesn't hurt that the kid's dad is/was a U.S. Senator
For real?
But still, even though his father is big he is a Harvard level candidate.
@@abhishekchatterjee7184 fact
Extraordinary profile, more than that I think he has explored 2 completely lifestyles, one in corporate, other in military. That adds a lot of value to the personality and perception.
How can us mere mortals expect to compete against that kind of a profile man wtf
Would HBS & Stanford Dare Reject This Guy?
No, the answer is nope
What if a candidate IS a SEAL? How heavy does that weigh?
In all actuality not much more than a regular veteran. It will not cover up for low GPA/GMAT but you will for sure get into any reasonable target and a perhaps even an M7 if your profile isn’t weak.
4-8% in hbs are military ..and also consider the fact that there are less applicants from that line so there are way higher chances not only that he worked at McKinsey and his dad's a senator so no doubt Hes in harvard
Nick is currently a student at HBS
thanks, where did he go to undergrad?
@@evanzau3905 Harvard
@@MM14JR oh ofc he went to a top college. I don't understand what's the need for an MBA when you already have Harvard + McKinsey on your résumé. He can go to some MF PE if he wants. Law school makes more sense to me.
@@mango-strawberry he doesn't want to be a lawyer 🤔
@@MrBjorn6 he won't necessarily have to work in law
Did he get in or not ????
HBS
Why even bother with going to Sandy? Lmao this guy is gonna be fine no matter what.
the nerves lol
Lol. I bet this guy's gonna run for president in a few decades. He's literally perfect aside from being a white man. 🤣
lol 45 of the us pres is white lol
Y’all are dumb af. Being white will never be a disadvantage no matter how much y’all like being victims
Did he get in or not ?
Yes he got into HBS
of course he did...he is like the absolutely dream guy fir this programs
@@cr-it5lh he did his undergrad from Harvard too
@@mango-strawberry not surprised...this guy has his life sorted for sure
@@cr-it5lh that's so true.
People from India have given up after seeing this kind of competition hahahha. What an outstanding candidate!
its kinda crazy how his race plays such a huge role
It’s simply because white guys make up a disproportionately large proportion of the applicant pool and, rightly so, schools want a representative selection of students. As a result, competition will be higher for white guys - it’s not as though being a white male precludes you from being appreciated as a person, it’s just a fact of admissions.
To add on, classes at most schools are still *overwhelmingly* white LOL. Race is just one of the many factors they look at.
@@lorenzo.t.674 indian male bracket is also tough
it doesnt ...
@@lorenzo.t.674 nah Indian techie males have the highest competition.
Impressive but boring.
Truly, hes got the keys to Harvard's gate
What would stand out?
@@prithakshrestha he should have to atleast stop a nuke with bare hands 3 times, that will be the x factor for going into stanford or hbs
@@prithakshrestha been president of USA or MD of a wall street bank at least plus been a pro golfer and winning a few majors
He’s hot
