Ms. Data Scientist – Thanks for posting your profile. Susan Cera here from Stratus.
I like your odds at IU-Kelley. One reason is because they are often looking to increase the number of women in their program. I’m glad to hear that you are retaking your GMAT. While 710 is solid for IU-Kelley, your profile will be stronger with a higher score.
My one concern is that you come across as a bit one-dimensional. Make sure to share the WHY behind your interest in data and healthcare. Beyond getting in to senior management, what impact do you want to make. It will also be important for you to share how you see yourself contributing to the IU community.
Wishing you all the best on your MBA journey.
