Hi, it’s Nisha from mbaMission! It looks like in 3 years, you’ve had substantial leadership impact in your Platoon Leader role, which is great to see. It’s also great that you’ve been consistently involved in the community as a Sunday School teacher – schools love seeing that type of involvement, as it shows your engagement and leadership.

In part, your competitiveness, especially for Yale, will depend on your GMAT score – to show the admissions committee your analytical skills since you had a non-quantitative undergrad major, you’ll especially want to focus on the quant section. Other schools I would add to your list given how much they value military applicants: UVA Darden and Cornell Johnson. Hope that helps a bit! 🙂
