Hi Mr. Car Engineer, This is Donna Bauman with Stratus Admissions weighing in on your profile.

Hi Mr. Car Engineer, This is Donna Bauman with Stratus Admissions weighing in on your profile. I am very impressed with your success in coming here to the US at 17 and being a first generation immigrant and doing so well in college at UCSD and getting 2 degrees in 4 years.

Beyond Haas and GSB, you should consider Ross because of its proximity to the roots of the automotive industry and if you are really interested in the west coast then I would add Anderson too and consider McCombs. For GSB be sure you put some thought into what matters most and that you spend time supporting this in your “why.” Would love to know what has sparked your interest in the automotive industry.
