Mr. Sloan Worshiper

About Me:

My origins began in a small, war-torn European country (holding three distinct citizenships – the US being one of them). My entire life has been on the move – living on 3 different continents and moving around every few years. I have a newfound appreciation for this as it necessitated my need to assimilate into a new culture after every move.

Undergrad Major: Finance

GPA: 3.4

GMAT: 760

Age: 26, Ethnicity: White

Extracurriculars: Founded an NGO where we help the youth in Albania (my home country) immigrate to Western countries in pursuit of better education opportunities. Manage a 15-person team on this effort. Helped over 80 students with resumes/essays/interviews/standardized test prep and raised over $10,000 in funds helping the Albanian orphans. Coaching mentor to unprivileged kids. Host weekly meetings (~5-10 in attendance) and monthly seminars (~40-50 in attendance), instructing the youth on my industry and other technical experience. Head of volunteering within the community for my Bank (organize events, recruit employees to attend these events, fundraising efforts). Also serve as the main campus recruiter for my Undergraduate School (return to my UG school twice a semester to assist with recruiting efforts on behalf of my company).

Hi Mr. Sloan Worshipper, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. As a serial relocator myself, I completely emphasize with the assimilation skills that frequent moves can build. You have the makings of what I think makes for a strong Sloan application: smarts, impact and uniqueness. Your extensive involvement in your communities in Albania and locally are impressive. And it’s not often I see a 760 GMAT score – so congrats! And I am still trying to figure out how bio-molecular physics fits in to the picture! All this said, I’d love to see you dig into your goals a bit more. While this is less important to Sloan, it will be important to other schools on your list.

Hi Mr. Sloan Worshipper, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. As a serial relocator myself, I completely emphasize with the assimilation skills that frequent moves can build.

And it’s not often I see a 760 GMAT score – so congrats! And I am still trying to figure out how bio-molecular physics fits in to the picture! All this said, I’d love to see you dig into your goals a bit more. While this is less important to Sloan, it will be important to other schools on your list. A move from finance to consulting is not uncommon – so you want to be able to articulate why pivoting into consulting is the right answer for you. And where do you hope for consulting to take you in the long term? Do you want to be a career consultant or eventually exit into an industry? And how will consulting help you to get to where you want to be long term. I am not challenging that it is possible, because your achievements indicate that it will be, but helping admissions teams get to know you and what drives you through the why on consulting. Spend time introspecting on what is driving your pivot and what you hope to accomplish. Overall, I think you have strong chances at Sloan – and across your list as a whole. Good luck and reach out if I can answer any other questions.
