Hi Ms. Food Waste Warrior,
This is Debbie, Senior Consultant at mbaMission. We need more folks like you! I like your passion for food sustainability and experience working with the community.

Stratus Admissions Counseling Odds Assessment: 20%

Hi, it’s Jennifer Jackson at Stratus Admissions. I love seeing your passion for sustainability and reducing food waste. Your work experience is great but on the light side. You’ll be a stronger candidate in a year or two, and that would also give you time to perhaps engage in an extracurricular related to your goals. A leadership role would be ideal. If you’re going to come in under a school’s average GMAT you might consider taking the GRE instead. You’re coming from an over-represented demographic so your score should be at a school’s average or above if possible. Your work experience in the Middle East is great to see and you probably have some good stories around cultural differences between India and UAE. Be sure …

Your work experience in the Middle East is great to see and you probably have some good stories around cultural differences between India and UAE. Be sure to be specific about your ST and LT goals when you do your applications — perhaps a marketing or sustainability role at a larger food company or a smaller nonprofit working to reduce food waste. You’ll have a great shot at Cornell especially if you wait a bit to apply!
