Hi Ms. Entrepreneur,
This is Debbie Choy, Senior Consultant at mbaMission. I like that you have a solid professional track record (promotions) and that you’re volunteering in the education space. Given that your future career goal involves social impact, be sure to share with the Admissions Committee (AdCom) why you’re interested in this area. Further, if your volunteering work had partially driven your social impact interest, AdCom will be looking closely at this experience to see how you are gaining knowledge about this area and/or industry contacts.

Another area of concern is your GMAT score, which is below the average at Booth. Consider retaking it if possible, to make your profile more competitive. My assessment of your chances are based on your current GMAT score, but if you’re able to improve it, your odds will also get closer to the average acceptance rate at Booth (which ranges from 22-24%). I’m happy to discuss your profile more through a 1:1 consult. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!
