About Me:

I’ve worked at two different well-known Fortune 500 companies in two different industries doing digital operations for both.

Decent numbers, low years WE.

  • mbaMission Odds Assessment: 20%

    Hi, it’s Nisha from mbaMission. It’s great that you’ve landed on such a specific passion early on: digital operations. Aside from the impact you’ve made in your professional roles to date, I like the strong GMAT score and the community involvement you’re building so far.

You’d have 3 years at matriculation (assuming you’re applying in R1 in the fall), which is under the average but not what I’d call a red-flag number. When someone is lower in work experience, I always suggest highlighting the Why Now part of the application more than normal. (Why MBA/Why Now/Why Stern). I had a client a few years ago who was only two years out when he applied (similar to you) and made a point to really emphasize what he’d already learned in his consulting role, how he was promoted early, and how …
