Hi Ms. Consulting Enthusiast, I love a fellow adventurer! This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. Your personal experiences traveling and moving around different places must have given you some interesting perspectives.

Hi Ms. Consulting Enthusiast, I love a fellow adventurer! This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. Your personal experiences traveling and moving around different places must have given you some interesting perspectives. Be sure to share these in your apps to show how they have shaped you as a leader / person. Schools are looking for individuals that can bring unique perspectives and experiences to the classroom discussion. I also like that you have a strong academic track record (undergrad and GRE), solid work experience, and robust community engagement through your work with the NGOs. That said, I agree with Melisa that you’d want to explain your career goals more. Since you’re already in consulting, what makes you want to pivot into MBB? Importantly, what specific skills / knowledge are you seeking at Cornell that you aren’t necessarily learning on the job? Further, what are your long-term goals after MBB? If you can articulate this compellingly in your essays, as well as weave in your personal stories to share more of who you are, that would be the key to your application success. If you wish to discuss your profile in further detail, feel free to schedule a consultation with us. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!

What is difficult to assess from the limited information is why MBB. As a consultant coming in and a consultant leaving – you will need to tell a compelling story to go along with your strong relative stats to help your application stand out. What have you enjoyed about consulting to date that wants you to double down on consulting? And what do you hope to do with your consulting in the long term? Do you want …
