Candidate:

Mr. International But Not International

About Me:

Mr. International because I lived most of my life in the middle east, but not international since I was born in the US and came back for college, and now trying to get into business schools here. When I first moved to the US, I spent my first year at a smaller 4 year college because it was closer to family, but then decided to transfer to a bigger, more reputable school to pursue bigger dreams. (pre-transfer GPA: 4.0). Outside the technicals, I am a recruitment ambassador for my company and serve as a mentor for interns and new hires in a mentorship program.
