The strongest part of your application is your work experience where you have racked up an excellent record of achievement with three promotions at a top consulting firm which I presume to be Deloitte, though I could be wrong. Penn State is okay, though it’s not UPenn. 3.47 is okay, though it’s not the class average at Kellogg of 3.6.

So to fully leverage your work experience and to offset the few things that won’t put you over the top I would make really sure your recommenders are solidly behind you with very strong recs. That will be essential to your admit and may count for a bit more given the other issues here. It is a plus that you will be sponsored and go bqck to your employer because Kellogg won’t have to worry about you on the job front. So pack your bags for those chilly winters in Evanston.
