mbaMission Odds Assessment: 40%

Hi, it’s Nisha from mbaMission. There is a lot to like about your profile – what an amazing impact you’ve had at WeWork, and you’ve got outstanding academics and engaging extracurricular involvement to go with it. To maximize your chances for these top schools, in your applications you’ll want to fully explain the motivations behind your post-MBA goals, make sure that the schools understand what values have driven your actions, and make a strong case for why each program is the right fit for you and how you would contribute to it within and outside of the classroom as well (and I’m sure that there are many ways). Hope that helps a bit – best of luck!
