I am a Sergeant enlisted in the military with 8 years of service both active and reserve. I am a consultant at Booz Allen for almost 4 years with multiple promotions and leadership positions while holding leadership roles in D&I initiatives.
I was accepted into Ross and the Tauber Institute for Operations. I applied for round 4 for Tuck. What are my chances? Should I wait on Kellogg in hopes of making it off the waitlist?

Hi Mr. Army Consultant, Julie-Anne Heafey here at mbaMission. I agree with Susan that while waitlists may move, your 460 is going to be a stumbling block at Kellogg and most likely at Tuck…I’m assuming you got the GMAT waiver from Ross? Congrats on your admission there – you should be proud, as many were waitlisted or rejected – this was a super tough year! My advice – I like Susan’s idea about a math course or some other prep work to show MBA readiness – but I’d do it even without any plans to submit to Kellogg or Tuck if waitlisted…I’d just do it as preparation for Ross. Best of luck and keep up the awesome leadership and D&I work; …

Best of luck and keep up the awesome leadership and D&I work; these things will serve you well in recruiting! BTW, if MBB is your goal, look into their PRE MBA programs for military that they do over the summer. I don’t know the deadlines or what they’re planning given COVID, but that’s a great way to make contacts and get your foot in the door even before you start school!
Mr. Army Consultant – Thank you for your service. Susan here from Stratus.
With your softer stats and longer years of work experience, you are definitely a unique candidate. While there is likely to be some movement from the waitlists, I suspect that candidates with stronger stats will be accepted ahead of you. I would recommend that you retake your test AND take a math course for which you will get a transcript to show that you are well-prepared for the rigor of a top program.
Set a date for yourself by which you want to commit to Ross. It is a FANTASTIC program and will set you up to achieve your goal of working for MBB.
