Very very humble brag
Lol seriously
This is the most awkward humble brag I’ve ever seen dude/dudette. Please don’t do stuff like that at B school (if this is even real)
🙄
Seriously don’t overthink. Imposter syndrome is common in business school, high powered jobs, etc.
Just remember that you got in for a very good reason - H/S don’t make mistake admissions. Something stuck out about you that means you deserve to be there. I had a friend who went to HBS after going to a non target and working in a F500 Finance analyst job. He got over this and got a job at a top VC firm - a job that many of those ‘studs’ were not able to get.
Focus on confidence - you deserve to be there.

Sounds like you are your biggest critic. Believe in yourself and your abilities and you’ll be fine. NO ONE can take your confidence away from you, unless YOU let them.
Also, people at H/S don’t talk about where they got into school or GMAT.

Headed to HSW as well and, in my convos with classmates, school options don’t come up anymore
Aight so you’re going to Wharton?
I’d love to hear more about your story!
But also, as someone who was waitlisted but then got into a prestigious undergrad, something that the dean said during orientation week stuck with me - NO ONE CARES ABOUT HOW YOU MADE IT, whether it was a B, whether someone read your app twice, whether you were waitlisted. Now that you are here, you are a part of our community and a member of the class
I’d also remember, admissions officers don’t do favors, just how recruiters don’t let you in because they feel bad or want wild cards. They saw potential and fit! So congrats on the acceptance and go crush it!!
Lastly, YOU don’t want to hangout with people who feel the need to compare stats and see who got it better or faster or was a better fit. YOU determine your journey in whatever place you choose, so it doesn’t matter how many successes other people had. All the different paths have led to the same place, your start class 😊

Tell me your ways OP!! Applying this cycle
What did you write about in your essays? Applying to H/S this cycle. Tips please!
Stanford second year here. Most people do not care about which other schools they got accepted to, GMAT score or previous job. Only exception may be PE bros... they definitely care about having been in PE and going to PE
Lmao can you describe the PE Bros culture 😂
And do they only hang with each other
Stats?
What are your: YOE (how many companies, how many levels), undergrad school and GPA, and extracurriculars?
