Hi Mr. Young Family Business Leader,
I think you have pretty impressive achievements so early in your career! This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. I think there are a lot of strengths in your profile – strong GMAT score (which should offset your softer GPA), strong career trajectory, entrepreneurial drive, and NGO engagement. As you are early in your career, do continue what you are doing in the next year or two. Most b-schools appreciate candidates bringing a few years of work experience to contribute to classroom discussions. When you’re ready to put your apps together, be sure to describe what specific skills and knowledge you are seeking at Darden that you are not learning on the job. Also, do share your career goals – whether you will be leading your family business or building your own enterprise – in the apps and describing how the MBA will help you achieve these goals. My estimate of your odds are based on your current work experience length but if you apply in a year or two, your chances will also improve as you will have more experiences to contribute to Darden. 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!
