Candidate:

Mr. Ambitious CPA

About Me:

A very bad coming out experience/home environment made HS and the first two years of undergrad very difficult, but I managed to really turn things around. I don’t really “need” an MBA for the ROI/earning potential, but I’m really passionate about disrupting a big industry and the network, and a “playground” environment would be extremely helpful.
