Hi Ms. Biracial Single Mommy, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. Wow, as a mom of 3, I have only a little bit of insight as to how hard you have worked from teaching to real estate! I am wondering if you are considering part time programs for your MBA? While it might be a lot to juggle, I think that with your years of experience, you would be sitting in a classroom with others of similar years of experience. Your entrepreneurial experience will provide rich discussion in the classroom. For your goals, I love that you know your end goal – COO. I’d encourage you to spend some time thinking through which of the paths you listed might be the right fit for you know. …
Hi Ms. Biracial Single Mommy, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. Wow, as a mom of 3, I have only a little bit of insight as to how hard you have worked from teaching to real estate!

I’d encourage you to spend some time thinking through which of the paths you listed might be the right fit for you know. Too many options can make you look unfocused to an admissions team, so choose one to be in the forefront of your story. I think Kelley is a nice fit for you. If you are open to a part time program, you should reach out to admissions for a profile review and they can give you an assessment on how your credentials fit with their class. I wish you the best of luck through the process!
