Hi Ms. Financial Real Estate,
I am impressed by your experience turning around the Real Estate group at a bank within two years! This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. You have a lot of strengths in your profile that would appeal to LBS. One thing that LBS looks for is of course candidates with international experiences and interest – and you have that, from being the Peruvian delegate for the APEC Youth Program to your undergrad studies in International Business. I like that you have a clear interest in development programs focusing on women’s issues. As you put together your application, be sure to explain what drives this interest.

I like that you have a clear interest in development programs focusing on women’s issues. As you put together your application, be sure to explain what drives this interest. Was it a personal mentor or event that sparked this passion? I also agree with Susan to try to narrow down a niche within women’s issues. Apart from that, I like that you have a strong academic track record (GPA and GMAT score) that’s competitive for LBS. As well, you demonstrate leadership in your community through your volunteering for Techo Peru and Juguete Pendiente. Don’t be afraid to share your personal stories from these experiences as well to help your application stand out. If you’d like to discuss your profile in further detail, feel free to schedule a consultation with us. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!

Ms. Financial Real Estate – Thanks for posting your profile. Susan here from Stratus.

There is a note in your profile that you wanted to be assessed for LBS but couldn’t find the drop-down. I am responding to LBS rather than for Wharton which is what was selcted.

Your strong stats and work experience set you up for success at LBS! I like that you have a clear vision for working in development focused on women’s issues. Hopefully some of your volunteer work at Techno Peru and other initiatives focuses on supporting women so you can tell the story of what, specifically, you want to address. Is it education? Is it maternal health? Is it job/career training?

I encourage you to also take a look at Oxford …

I encourage you to also take a look at Oxford Said which has strong ties to social entrepreneurship and other development opportunities globally.
