Thinking about applying next year - are HSW a realistic possibility? 3.7 from top ~5 state school, 3 years at T2 consulting (S&, Oliver Wyman, etc.), 730 GMAT, white male. Good ECs in college but not much since. Also have some international work experience from undergrad.

Similar stats, but white female. Got dinged without interview by HS but into M7. Really depends on your story / who else is applying

Yeah, tough. Gonna need an angle. You look like 80% of applicant pool and most of them have better schooling, job exp, or GMAT.

You should still apply but odds are against you

Yes, know people recently admitted to each of HSW with similar stats. As with any other applicant will obviously be dependent on story

Wharton might be worth applying to imo

Had very similar profile and stats. Got interviews with all of HSW and ended up with 1 acceptance and 1 waitlist. Feel free to DM if you want to chat
