Stratus Admissions Counseling Odds Assessment: 30%

Hi Mr. Edutech, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. As a mother of 3 who has kids sitting behind screens learning – thank you for working to make remote/on-line learning more engaging. What a fascinating time to be in edtech! You have solid stats – have not seen a 337 on the GRE very often – which put you in a good spot in relation to your peers. The general direction of your goals make sense and I would challenge you to go deeper here. What type of role would you like to have post-MBA to give you that product insight? Product manager? And what type of firm – established tech firm like Google so that you can learn a specific way of product management? Or …

Hi Mr. Edutech, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. As a mother of 3 who has kids sitting behind screens learning – thank you for working to make remote/on-line learning more engaging. What a fascinating time to be in edtech! You have solid stats – have not seen a 337 on the GRE very often – which put you in a good spot in relation to your peers. The general direction of your goals make sense and I would challenge you to go deeper here. What type of role would you like to have post-MBA to give you that product insight? Product manager? And what type of firm – established tech firm like Google so that you can learn a specific way of product management? Or would you rather work for a start up and leverage your skills from b school to build products in a faster pace innovative environment? How do you see technology fixing the broken education system? I see a compelling story underneath, but you will need to bring this out in your essays to explain your path to success. Booth’s flexible curriculum is one that would really allow you to focus on what you need to gain from an MBA. With flexibility comes the importance of knowing what you want to do so that you can make the right choices. With a strong story, I think your chances are better than average at Booth.
