Hi Mr. Big Data Business Scientist,
You’re involved with two of my favorite organizations – Toastmasters and Statistics without Borders. Fantastic! This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission and GSB alum. I think you have a lot of strengths in your profile – strong work performance (congrats on the promotion!), active community engagement, and robust GMAT (which I think helps to offset your GPA).

Hi Mr. Big Data Business Scientist,

This will also help them visualize your long-term vision more vividly. Also, in your applications, I recommend going beyond your resume to show AdCom various sides of you apart from your professional achievements, eg. hobby musician, community leader. If you can share with AdCom what drives you through weaving in personal stories that have influenced you, I think you would have a good shot at GSB. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!
