Hello, this is Lisa Cummings of Stratus Admissions. Congrats on the full time offer! A 2+2 program, as many of these are called, is a great idea for college seniors who know that they want to got to business school.

Your blurb here highlights your work success and board work in a professional society, all great but what other elements can you offer your schools? I’d like to learn about community involvement. Any mentoring or leadership in groups where you have worked to help others? Your solid academics and work experience will definitely be attractive to your schools, just be sure to flesh out the other areas also so your can really stand out in the pool. Good luck.
