I like you and I think Kellogg will, too. You bring valuable international experience and perspective to the game. Your basic stats are strong, though I wish you had another 20 points on your GMAT score but I hope that doesn’t matter to you. You are also from an underrepresented country and industry, and I think that will count for a lot as will your post-MBA goal to work in the renewables space.
