Hi Mr. Senior Energy Engineer, Julie-Anne Heafey here with mbaMission. I am so glad to hear of your passion for energy efficiency. I assume you’ve converted your GPA from the BITS Pilani norm and that your average was something in the 60-something percent?

I’d rack your brain to think of ways you’ve made a difference in SOME kind of community – even work. Maybe you’ve been on some internal committees?? Make sure to bring personal stories and perspective into your app so you are not just presenting your work self but a whole person. Good luck!
