Education has opened a lot of doors for me. I’m the first in my family to go to college allowing me to land a great job after graduation. In addition, I was able to get a master’s degree while working full time in order to prepare for more cross-functional assignments both in my current role or in new roles in the future.
My goal is to transition out of Land Management and into more of a Corporate Strategy or Planning role. I would like for the role to be in-house rather than at a consulting firm.

Right off the bat, let me just tell you I have great admiration for what you have already accomplished. As a first gen college grad, you have really excelled at the choices you’ve made. Your 3.85 GPA is terrific and your 760 GMAT would make you–as a first gen Hispanic–jump out of any MBA applicant pool. So would your master’s degree from Johns Hopkins. In your seven years at a Fortune 500 power/energy company, I would expect that you have won a promotion or two. That is important to your application. If so, you have a strong story to tell. It’s rare that a 30-year-old MBA applicant would work seven years for only one company but I don’t think anyone would hold that against you …

I’m rooting for you!
Why are you aiming so low? HBS or GSB aren’t likely, but you can look at Wharton and the rest of the M7
