Hi, it’s Jennifer Jackson from Stratus Admissions. You have some great sales and marketing experience at different types of organizations, and Kellogg is certainly a great fit there. Your GRE is on the softer side and you have been out of undergrad several years over the average of 4-5 years. I don’t think you’re in red-flag territory yet but some schools will view the amount of experience you have as better suited to an EMBA. Given all that you’ve accomplished, it’s critical to be very clear about why now is the time for the MBA. Why do you want to go into consulting?

Hi, it’s Jennifer Jackson from Stratus Admissions. You have some great sales and marketing experience at different types of organizations, and Kellogg is certainly a great fit there. Your GRE is on the softer side and you have been out of undergrad several years over the average of 4-5 years. I don’t think you’re in red-flag territory yet but some schools will view the amount of experience you have as better suited to an EMBA. Given all that you’ve accomplished, it’s critical to be very clear about why now is the time for the MBA. Why do you want to go into consulting? Lots of applicants want to go that route so it’s very important to show that that is the best way to get to that long-term goal, and also to show why it’s a great fit for you. Perhaps you’ve experienced something in your roles to date that convinced you that consultants can approach problems differently, and only the MBA offers you that learning. I might also suggest adding some schools more in the Top 15-20 so you can give yourself a better chance to be sitting in a program next year, especially given your age. Good luck!
