Mr. Healthcare Finance

Hi, it’s Jennifer Jackson from Stratus Admissions. You’ve got a really impressive profile, from the work experience in finance and healthcare, to the high stats, to the innovation award, fast promotion, etc. It’s great that you’ve already had the opportunity to manage large groups of people as well. As far as the ST goals, be sure to really dig into the why behind consulting as a springboard to healthcare. What skills will you gain that will help you be more prepared for your LT goal in healthcare? So many people want to go into consulting that it’s important to show that you’ve thought through the benefits of that route and how you’d apply the learning you’ll do in your LT role. For MIT, you won’t have a chance in the cover letter to go into that kind of depth since it’s a past-focused essay, but perhaps in the interview or short answers you can discuss more of that why. MIT is one of the 3-4 most competitive schools in the country but I still give you a 35% chance. Good luck!
