Hello Mr. Strategy To Real Estate
Krista from mbaMission here. Thanks for posting!
Stats like yours are tough to beat and will serve you well in this process. You seem to be the type of candidate who would benefit from a telephone consultation so I encourage you to reach out. I say this because you come from one of the toughest demographics…American males in Big 4 Consulting. It would be helpful to know more about your client work and career progression to really best evaluate your chances. One thing I worry about is that you only have two years of work experience.

Stats like yours are tough to beat and will serve you well in this process. You seem to be the type of candidate who would benefit from a telephone consultation so I encourage you to reach out. I say this because you come from one of the toughest demographics…American males in Big 4 Consulting. It would be helpful to know more about your client work and career progression to really best evaluate your chances. One thing I worry about is that you only have two years of work experience. At the top b-schools, I generally find that candidates like you do better when they have 4+ years of work experience upon application. (This could be 4 years in Consulting or 2 years Consulting, 2 years Corporate experience.)
My general sense with the information I have right now is that Wharton will be tough to crack, but there are a lot of unknowns here without knowing more about your work experience and recommenders. I’ve definitely seen consultants with great stats but less work experience be successful at CBS so that’s a solid option for you. And of course, UNC is a great safety.
I encourage you to reach out to us with your resume for a more thorough review.
My best,
Krista
