Should I discount the HSW + M7 odds admissions consultants give me? I’ve done the free consultation options with a few firms (Menlo, MBAmission, Stacey Blackman) and they are all saying that I have a serious shot at Stanford/HBS and near-guarantee at M7. Not sure if it’s just business development on their end. I’d like to believe it’s true, but feel like those odds are lower.

Kind of a specific question. Thanks ahead of time 🐠 friends.

Current stats in comments for details. Appreciate your thoughts!
