What specific skills or knowledge are you seeking at Darden that you cannot learn on the job (beyond expanding your network)? I think if you can be specific about how a Darden MBA can help you reach your future career goals, that will be important.

Stratus Admissions Counseling Odds Assessment: 30%

Mr. Biz Tech – Thanks for posting your profile. Susan here from Stratus.

Congrats on the strong undergrad performance (though I suspect you converted to a 4.0 from what may have been first division or first class with distinction) and solid GMAT.

I like the initiative that you have demonstrated in getting a business set up in South Africa. Many Indian candidates don’t have experience outside of their home country so you would be well served to highlight what you have learned in working with individuals from different cultures and geographies and how you have grown. Your commitment to leveraging technology in education is also admirable.

I think you have a good shot at Darden. Including the other programs should mean you have a seat in an MBA …

I think you have a good shot at Darden. Including the other programs should mean you have a seat in an MBA program. Given your interest in technology, you might also take a look at UW Foster.

Wishing you all the best on your journey.
