Hi Mr. CTO, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. Looks like you have a lot of great experiences that you will bring to classroom discussions. And that you were ahead of your time when you developed your own major in digital marketing. Your stats are impressive and will be competitive across your schools. The fact that you started (and sold and therefore a successful exit) your own company gives you credence to talking about starting a fund/incubator. I’d want to dig more into if this is your post-MBA strategy or if there is another step. You will need to articulate where you see yourself post-MBA and then longer term – and show that one leads to the other. What has inspired these goals – obviously have …
Hi Mr. CTO, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. Looks like you have a lot of great experiences that you will bring to classroom discussions. And that you were ahead of your time when you developed your own major in digital marketing. Your stats are impressive and will be competitive across your schools. The fact that you started (and sold and therefore a successful exit) your own company gives you credence to talking about starting a fund/incubator. I’d want to dig more into if this is your post-MBA strategy or if there is another step. You will need to articulate where you see yourself post-MBA and then longer term – and show that one leads to the other. What has inspired these goals – obviously have had experience – but what drew you to digital PM and tech in the first place. Tell your personal story here. Based on the limited info here in the profile, your biggest opportunity appears to be your community involvement. Think about what community could mean to you – is it the community of your company where you have influenced outside of your role? Have you had involvement in your greater community that is not listed here? Compared to other Wharton applicants, this appears to be a bit of an opportunity. Look at and be familiar with the accelerators or incubators at the programs you are applying – what can you contribute there? Were you involved at NYU – this can help show you were an involved student which will show you will be as a student in their program. Best of luck!
