Hi there, this is Julie-Anne Heafey from mbaMission. Your dedication to service is commendable, and your global experience has surely added to your perspective. Overall, I like your background a lot – and Kellogg seems like a great choice for you to balance out the process-oriented hard skills of engineering with soft skills that will help you in consulting. You’re a bit below the averages in terms of GMAT and work experience, but it sounds like your extensive volunteer work includes a lot of leadership that will add to your “experience” profile. Can you retake the GMAT? It will likely help your prospects both for Kellogg and for the top strategy firms (if that’s the type of consulting you’re looking for). …
