Hi Mr. Future Energy,
This is Debbie Choy, Senior Consultant at mbaMission. I found your profile very interesting – with your field experience and oil & gas industry background. This is traditionally not a big “feeder” industry for business school, which helps you stand out from the crowd. The flip side of course is that you should clearly articulate why / how a MBA education will help you reach your future career goals. What specific knowledge and skills do you want to learn at Booth? Apart from this, I think your academic track record looks strong, and I like that you were a student leader in undergrad. Being in-between jobs right now should not be an issue for your applications, although many applicants address this in …

Hi Mr. Future Energy,
This is Debbie Choy, Senior Consultant at mbaMission. I found your profile very interesting – with your field experience and oil & gas industry background. This is traditionally not a big “feeder” industry for business school, which helps you stand out from the crowd. The flip side of course is that you should clearly articulate why / how a MBA education will help you reach your future career goals. What specific knowledge and skills do you want to learn at Booth? Apart from this, I think your academic track record looks strong, and I like that you were a student leader in undergrad. Being in-between jobs right now should not be an issue for your applications, although many applicants address this in the Optional Essay – AdCom might just be wondering what you’re doing with your time currently. So whether you’re doing a side consulting project, or spending time with family, do consider sharing this with AdCom. Apart from that, I think you have a strong, differentiated profile. If you can execute on the above compellingly, I think you’d have a good shot at Booth. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!
