  • MBA Prep School | Odds Assessment: 10%

    Hi Mr. Community Impact, Kristen from MBA Prep School here. I admire your dedication to social good through your engagement in nonprofits and work in healthcare.

You also appear to be an engaged community citizen which will also serve you well in your HBS application. The piece of your profile that feels like it falls short is your analytical aptitude and appetite (as viewed through the lens of your stats).
