Candidate:

Mr. Multi-Industry Marketeer

About Me:

After working in marketing and advertising at both well known companies and small agencies, I’ve decided I want to pursue an MBA to move into brand management. I applied for a small handful of schools in R1 and got dinged, and I’m assuming it’s because of my low GPA.
