Hi Mr. Star-Gazer, this is Kate Richardson with mbaMission. It sounds like you’ve done some impactful work, and I like that you have exposure to the product dev process. I like the ambition you show in your goals too! Just make sure you’re grounding that with transferable skills, perhaps making the entrepreneurial path something more long-term, and joining an existing software company in the short-term to gain more exposure to innovative products. Otherwise, I worry a bit about your GMAT / GPA stats with Haas, which has a pretty high average GMAT (727). Is it possible to retake before you submit your application? I think that would be time well invested.
