Hi Mr. Harvard Hopeful,
This is Debbie Choy, Senior Consultant at mbaMission. I like your strong academic track record (GPA, GMAT) and your unique work experience in robotics. I also love that you give back to the immigrant community through your volunteer work.

Also, since you already have a Masters in Financial Mathematics, consider explaining in your application how the MBA will complement this to help you achieve your future career goals.

Stratus Admissions Counseling Odds Assessment: 20%

Hi, it’s Jennifer Jackson from Stratus Admissions. You have very impressive stats and great consulting and tech experience. It sounds like the immigrant experience has been central to your life story, so I recommend really drawing that out in your narrative. How has it shaped you to adapt to UT and become president of the student body, and then help other immigrant students in a nonprofit outside of work? What have you learned and how have you grown? What do you hope to do in this regard in the future? Outside of that, be very clear why you want to go into VC. It’s a very popular track but also very competitive. How have your unique experiences at your tech company prepared you for that? …

How have your unique experiences at your tech company prepared you for that? What skills do you still need to be effective and how can HBS help you get them? Make sure all this comes out in your essay and I think you’ll have a shot! Good luck!
