Have pitched 15+ stocks that have made it into our portfolios. The healthcare tranche that I help manage has doubled the benchmark’s return over the previous 12 months. Once revived a man by myself in a hospital parking lot while on my lunch break.
Post-MBA, I hope to return to my current fund in a PM role (was told that I need a graduate degree to do so). Eventually would like to launch my own healthcare-focused fund that could invest in both private/public assets.

Hi Mr. Global Healthcare, Kristen from MBA Prep School here. I really like your odds at Columbia and even Wharton based on the stats you’ve shared here. First, your perfect GPA in finance, CFA progress, and stellar 740 GMAT set the scene for solid academic skills (even though your undergrad institution is not elite). Next up, success in your finance career marked by being able to successfully pitch stocks that get results show you have analysis skills in the professional realm and can get buy-in on your ideas.

Hi Mr. Global Healthcare, Kristen from MBA Prep School here. I really like your odds at Columbia and even Wharton based on the stats you’ve shared here. First, your perfect GPA in finance, CFA progress, and stellar 740 GMAT set the scene for solid academic skills (even though your undergrad institution is not elite). Next up, success in your finance career marked by being able to successfully pitch stocks that get results show you have analysis skills in the professional realm and can get buy-in on your ideas. You also have the global perspective and civic engagement that is sought by top MBA programs (and I especially like that your interest in healthcare has extended to hands-on exposure through working in a hospital). Perhaps a less obvious positive in your profile is your career security. Knowing your employer is supporting you in your pursuit of an MBA in order to hire you back reassures the Admissions Committee that you won’t have a problem securing a post-MBA role. Make your your supervisor mentions an offer to return in his or her recommendation letter so that point gets across loud and clear. Your goals down the line are then extremely realistic given the background you have and the role you will move into post-MBA. I think you have the makings of a successful applicant, as long as you put a cohesive story together. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to chat further about your application strategy.
