  • mbaMission Odds Assessment: 70%

    Hi Ms. Green Biz, Julie-Anne Heafey from mbaMission here. Congrats on your acceptance to Stern and Johnson! I like your passion, impact and clear goals, and though your GPA is on the low side (is there something specific that you were able to address in your optional essay?), your GRE looks within range for your target schools. Dartmouth is a very “green” and outdoors-oriented place – so I really think you’d fit right in. You’re chances look good to me if you’ve managed to demonstrate your interest in and connection to the school. Good luck!
