Hi Mr. Long Term Vision! This is Kate Richardson, Senior Admissions Consultant. Good for you for thinking so far ahead! I’m glad you’ve narrowed in on Johnson, as its an excellent program considering your interest in banking. It sounds like you are on a great track with your exposure at work and long track record of extracurriculars. Mostly, keep those things up, and where possible try to amp up your leadership roles so you have several examples by the time you apply. If it’s possible to get on a cross-functional or cross-cultural project, that could help some too. Otherwise, I think you could potentially work on your GMAT, since that score is still within your control. 710 is above Cornell’s 696 average but their average …

Otherwise, I think you could potentially work on your GMAT, since that score is still within your control. 710 is above Cornell’s 696 average but their average could go up by the time you apply and your GPA is below their 3.4 average. Lastly, make sure when it comes time to apply you have strong reasons for why you want to do your MBA now, as five years of work experience is more typical when students start. Best of luck!
