Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Insanely good numbers and you are a woman in tech, which I think boosts your profile substantially! I think you're in at at least one of the two. HBS more likely than Stanford, unless you have a strong history of comm service...Also-also, this is extremely non-professional advice and is my humble opinion. (0)

Anon Likes Earned: 0 Great numbers, I might add Wharton and another M7, just in case. Good luck! (0)

DorisMBA Likes Earned: 0 Agree on your profile! Splendid! Out of curiosity, what are your goals? I'm also curious about what your first essay will be for Stanford! (0)

em Likes Earned: 0 You know exactly what you want! And, you have the stats to warrant it. Good luck! Interesting background too! (0)

@Stan Likes Earned: 0 On paper, you should be able to make the cut at one of the two - based on your general profile and numbers (as others have indicated). Of course, Harvard and Stanford reject great applicants with big numbers all the time, so you will need to be vigilant and to ensure that you are multi-dimensional (not just work and academics). How are your ECs? How interesting/unique (yet feasible) are your goals? Finally, I'd never recommend only applying to H/S - as others have mentioned here. You are old enough where you don't want to apply more than once, so I'd consider Wharton or another top school as well. (0)
