Hi Mr. Startup Supply Chain Manager,
Congrats on being part of an acquisition at work! This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission.

If you can get a GMAT score that’s close to the average at Kellogg (around 720), that will make your profile more competitive. The one thing that the Admissions Committee will want to see is demonstrated leadership – during college, at work, and outside work. One area to consider beefing up is your current community …
