Hi Mr. MBB Advanced Analytics, Your journey sounds inspiring. This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission and GSB alum. I like that not only are you a recovering addict, you also founded a golf league for others, thereby creating a community of support. Your GMAT score is solid and should offset the softness in your GPA. I assume your GPA was impacted by your alcohol struggles in college? I suggest using the Optional Essay to explain this and point to more recent examples of your Quant and Verbal capabilities. In addition, it looks like you’re doing very well at work in your transition from Big 4 to MBB and having multiple promotions. It looks like you have a clear post-MBA goal. As you put your apps together, be sure to articulate what specific skills or knowledge you’re seeking at GSB. What is missing from your skillset that’s stopping you from reaching your post-MBA goal, and how can business school help you? Also, do weave in how your personal recovery journey has shaped you as a team player and leader. If you can articulate all the above compellingly in your essays, that would be the key to your application success. If you would like to discuss your profile in more detail, feel free to schedule a 1:1 consultation with us. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!
