Hi Mr. Med Device Manufacturing,
Having a medical device background myself, it’s nice to see someone with your expertise interested in business school! This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. I like that you come from a differentiated niche within healthcare – not many candidates have a manufacturing / production background like yourself. I also like that you’re doing well at work – leading projects and making an impact. While this will help you stand out from the crowd, it’s also important to describe in your application why you’re interested in making the pivot to the business side. For example, is an MBA a required qualification for becoming production manager? What specific skills / knowledge are you seeking at HBS? That said, your low GPA may be a concern for the Admissions Committee. If there were circumstances that affected your GPA, do consider telling your side of the story in the Optional Essay.
