Mr. Commercial Engineer

Hi, Mr. Commercial Engineer! Julie-Anne Heafey here with mbaMission. Your background looks very promising as an engineer in a business role. In addition, you bring diversity to the class, and I like how your work and extracurriculars link to your ST goals. I’m a little unsure of your LT goal – you probably want to avoid the term “schemes” with regard to investing (a scheme would suggest something that is perhaps a trick or fraud!) so I’d need to understand more about what you are picturing. Stats-wise, you’re pretty close to the mean GMAT (687) and just under the median (700) for Judge, so that looks good to me. How is your TOEFL/IELTS? Remember you’ll need a TOEFL of 110+ or an IELTS of 7.5+. Otherwise, from the info i see here so far, I think your chances look above-the-norm for Judge. Best of luck!

Mr. Commercial Engineer – Thanks for posting your profile. Susan Cera, Director of MBA Admissions at Stratus here. I spent 5+ years reviewing applicants from Indonesian (and other Asian countries) during my time with adcom at Duke Fuqua. You are from a country that is poised to do big things in the years to come so will be a welcome candidate!

I like that you have already transitioned out of pure engineering role into a more strategic position. You have very strong extracurriculars which will be valued.

I’m currently working with a client who interviewed last week with Oxford Said and will interview with Cambridge Judge next week. Both schools offer CV/resume evaluations so I would suggest that you reach out for their thoughts on your profile.

I do like your odds as I think you would bring a unique perspective to the cohort. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you would like to have a more in depth conversation about your background and goals.
