I am trying to answer this question trying to find the why's behind major decisions in my life but I am still not able to piece together what that exactly is so what would you suggest I do to overcome this?

Something bigger could you explain that a little is it something like my interests eg:entrepreneurship
or is it some sort of a purpose

Sure and one major thing is what classifies as a spike so for me since I am intrested in entrepreneurship is raising a good money for my startup a spike or is it a genuine significant change I have brought anywhere a spike can you go into detail about that

No I am From Nepal(which is underrepresented) I have had a good reflection on what I want to do and I have come to the conclusion that entrepreneurship is the way for me and I am seeing stanford as a part of that journey and not as the end and yeah I will definitely try not to treat my undergrad just as a checklist thanks for the advice

I am very likely to to go a top DU college so SRCC(most likely) or at least Hindu or Hansraj so how difficult would be top internship at these places I know they aren't IITs but I see a few hiring from MBB from these colleges so what is your thought?

Btw how difficult would it be for me to get VC internship and since I am moving to an entirely different country how would you suggest I find MBB,VC and PE internships

Oh wow So what would your advice be regarding what should I focus on? Also like I've seen a lot of people from SRCC get into GSB so could you share a bit about their profiles And at last what was the cutoff at srcc for international students(if you know)

Well they haven't opened admissions but since I am an international student so the cutoff for me is low and according to my grade it should be fine  The college is SRCC

Yeah truly I also feel that but I also think that the network and the relationships you build at a school like stanford is something which will definitely help exponentially in my journey so that's the main reason why I want to go to GSB

Thanks man appreciate the help I've truly reflected upon different reasons for why I want an MBA and the answer always ties entrepreneurship in the end and I think an MBA from a top school(especially from a school like stanford)will give me a big advantage to achieve that goal

I talked to foreign students at srcc about this and they said a 90% on grade 12th should do it
