At Vandy and WUSTL, decent chance but its in the air. The others: if you're domestic, you're in. If you're intl, you're screwed.

Applying in the later rounds can work in your favor if the program, for whatever reason, has a low yield. People turn down schools last minute because of a changes in regional preferences, higher scholarship offers elsewhere, they find a job last minute and decide to forgo the MSF entirely etc., and the program has to scramble to fill those slots. That being said, I can't really assess the relative quality of your app. Your internship is nondescript, I'm not entirely sure what you did at Stanford or how it's relevant and I haven't read your essays.

With your gmat score and GPA, though, you should be in at all of them with the possible exception of WUSTL and Vandy. Again, I can't assess your chances at these two programs.

PS international student.

UIUC has a better Chicago brand I believe the reasoning goes. OSU is a good program though. I'm fairly sure OSU has less international students.

 

You should be in at all the programs mentioned in this site, even with being a late applicant. GPA is fine considering you are strong in other areas, hope you leave the Stanford classes off your resume (assuming you transferred to UW to finish degree)

Not sure about scholarship money though. But as long as you can explain to admissions your career goals and how your previous internships plus an MSF will help you reach them you will be extremely competitive. Good luck
