Hi Mr. Travel Tech,
It has not been easy being in the travel industry the last year and a half. Good thing you were able to pivot into tech. This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. It sounds like you are a strong performer at work. I also like that you were an active student leader during undergrad. As you are still early in your career, do also consider engaging more in your community to demonstrate leadership. If there are causes that you’re passionate about, you could volunteer with a community organization to give back. As well, if you step into any leadership roles with the organization, it will resonate with the Admissions Committee. Further, to be competitive at Stern, you will need to boost your GMAT …

Hi Mr. Travel Tech,
It has not been easy being in the travel industry the last year and a half. Good thing you were able to pivot into tech. This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. It sounds like you are a strong performer at work. I also like that you were an active student leader during undergrad. As you are still early in your career, do also consider engaging more in your community to demonstrate leadership. If there are causes that you’re passionate about, you could volunteer with a community organization to give back. As well, if you step into any leadership roles with the organization, it will resonate with the Admissions Committee. Further, to be competitive at Stern, you will need to boost your GMAT score and try to get it as close to 720 as you can, which is the average score at Stern. A higher GMAT score will also offset your softer GPA. My estimate of your odds are based on your estimated GMAT of 650, but if you increase your GMAT score, your chances will also improve. If you would like to discuss your profile in more detail, feel free to schedule a 1:1 consultation with us. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!
