About Me:

Directionless and confused most of highschool, I was told to be a Doctor through the years so I thought I wanted to be a Doctor. Struggling with a lack of purpose and sleep apnea I suffered a 1.8 GPA my freshman year of University. Re-evaluated myself, my goals and went after treatment for my condition. Consistently got 3.8 – 4.0s the following semesters and pushed my GPA to a 3.42.

You have a really compelling story. The fact that you turned around your undergraduate education after a dismal 1.8 GPA in your freshman year, ending up with a 3.4 shows remarkable resilence and tenacity. But the truth is there is a lot to like in your profile, from your 760 GMAT to the fact that you took the Credential of Readiness online program of three business fundamental courses from Harvard Business School. And mainly, what I like most is your passion for healthcare which is the next big industry that will be disrupted in our lifetimes.

You have a really compelling story. The fact that you turned around your undergraduate education after a dismal 1.8 GPA in your freshman year, ending up with a 3.4 shows remarkable resilence and tenacity. But the truth is there is a lot to like in your profile, from your 760 GMAT to the fact that you took the Credential of Readiness online program of three business fundamental courses from Harvard Business School. And mainly, what I like most is your passion for healthcare which is the next big industry that will be disrupted in our lifetimes. The fact that you work for the second largest non-profit healthcare system and have distinguished yourself by gaining an important promotion out of the analyst role and into project management is super impressive. Add to that the fact that you were an Eagle Scout and and a founder member of your university’s lacrosse team and I’m sold. As you, no doubt, know, UC-Berkeley’s full-time program is relatively small and highly selective. But I think your story and (this is really important) the way you tell it will truly make a difference. You also also solid at UCLA (even more so) and Yale SOM. Good luck to you! I have a really good feeling that you are going to make a positive difference in the healthcare field some day.
