Hi Mr. Impact Maker,
Congrats on the success of your start ups – and you have a day job to boot! This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. I’m impressed by your entrepreneurial spirit. Haas is looking for applicants who have a strong professional track record as well as the initiative to make an impact. As you put your applications together, be sure to explain what motivates you to start companies and is there an area you are particularly passionate about? Importantly, what problems do you wish to solve? While the career goals you listed – consulting, VC, and entrepreneurship – are common choices for MBA grads, they are also very different paths. For your apps, it’s best to pick one path so as not to confuse the reader. Do also describe what skills or knowledge you will learn at Haas that will help you achieve your future goals. If you can articulate this compellingly in your essays, that would be the key to your application success. My estimate of your odds are based on your current work experience but if you apply in another year or two, your chances will improve because most top b-schools are looking for candidates with a few years of work experience under their belt. Keep doing what you’re doing and I think Haas will be very happy to hear from you in the future. If you would like to discuss your profile in more detail, feel free to schedule a 1:1 consultation with us. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!
