Hi Mr. LGBT Social Impact, Kristen from MBA Prep School here. Wow, you have a lot going for you as an MBA applicant. Firstly, you are an LGBT POC first generation college student coming from a low-income background; not only do you check a lot of diversity boxes, but you have obviously overcome many challenges! Your major might be seen as weaker in terms of quant skills, but your stellar GPA at Yale, solid GRE score, and track record at a top consulting firm should more than make up for that. GSB will love your social impact commitment, both on the smaller scale by mentoring and giving piano lessons as well as in your professional focus. You have the international exposure, team project leadership, and community involvement that your target schools highly value! I also love your career goal, but want to make sure you can define a bit about what this venture might look like and what resources each school offers to get you there. I know you don’t have MIT Sloan on your list, but as a former adcom member there I think they would love to see your app. With a cohesive set of essays you should have offers to choose from, but please feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss how to write a winning essay.
