Hello, it’s Lisa Cummings of Stratus Admissions. I hope you are staying well amid the lockdowns and shutdowns.

Your work in CPG will bring a different angle to the cohort. I’d want to hear more about the impact you have been able to have at work and where you have been able to take or make opportunities to highlight your leadership skills. I love your community involvement which should help you answer additional essay or interview questions. Are you still a Big Brother? What have been some of your best experiences in that program. What role do you play at Pridelines. Any way to showcase some leadership experience there? Post MBA what is drawing you to consulting. What kinds of engagements were your friends involved in and what skills did they use and gain in that work. How do you see you background as having prepared you to be a consultant? Good luck and stay safe!
