Hi, this is JP, Senior Consultant at The MBA Exchange. Your ambition can take you anywhere you want! You’re clearly an “early bird” already thinking about his MBA. I was in the same position as you as a Senior in college. The key is to understand what the schools are looking for and what the MBA experience is all about – which is very different from college. There are a number of mistakes that can damage your chances now and later, so you should seek an expert advisor to lay out a roadmap for you. Send me an email at jpo@mbaexchange asap to discuss this further.

mbaMission Odds Assessment: 15%

Hi Mr. Data Mastermind,
This is Debbie Choy, Senior Consultant at mbaMission. Your STEM background makes you the target candidate for these deferred MBA programs. I like that you are also a student leader in your community. With deferred programs, having a full-time job offer is important. Going into management consulting will certainly enable you to start gaining business skills and experience. Assuming that you have a full-time offer in hand when you apply, and that you can get your GMAT close to the MIT Sloan average (around 720), I think you would have a solid chance (the average acceptance rate Sloan ranges from 11-15%). Good luck!

Stratus Admissions Counseling Odds Assessment: 20%

Hi, it’s Jennifer Jackson from Stratus Admissions. I am assuming you are looking at deferred enrollment MBA programs? You’ll need to have a job offer and explain how working at that job for 2-4 years will get you X skills, and that an MBA will be critical to develop Y skills to get you that longer-term job you want. Very few programs will consider someone right out of college unless it’s for deferred enrollment. It’s hard to assess your chances without a GMAT, but you’d need to have it toward a school’s average to be competitive. The deferred enrollment programs especially are most interested in people with high stats — GPA and GMAT. You’ve got the GPA and now just need the GMAT. It …

It will certainly help that you’re from an under-represented demographic and have had some interesting tech and consulting work/extracurriculars over the years of college. Good luck!
