Hi Mr. Education Consulting, Kristen from MBA Prep School here. I love the breadth of experiences you’ve had in the education sector. During my time as an adcom at MIT Sloan, I came across many TFA members who had not yet completed their commitment and moved onto the next big thing.

Your experiences in strategically solving problems and seeking solutions to inequities in education make for a fantastic story; if you tell it well, you should definitely see an admit come through. Please feel free to reach out for a complimentary consultation to chat more about positioning yourself!
