Candidate:

Ms. Single Mothers Startup

About Me:

I’m a very passionate person about other people’s career progression. I came from a middle-income family in Colombia, being the first person from my High School to attend a university like Georgia Tech and among the few Hispanic Women to break into one the MBBs & Top Tech Companies. I have lived in 3 different US cities, and currently in Spain.

Big Life Wins:

Recovering from an ankle injury. Doctors told me I was never going to be able to run, play soccer, or (as stupid as it sounds) wear heels. But I refused. I became obsessed with recovering, and signed up to do ballet to strengthen my legs. 5 years later, I’ve ran multiple half marathons, and I do wear high heels. It taught me that anything is possible.

Post MBA Goal:

I want to return to Latin America to either consulting or a tech start-up, to help businesses flourish in a region that has so much potential, yet has had some unique challenges that (in my mind) we will only be able to break through widespread technological advances. I want to specifically focus on startup/projects that help single mothers.

    Hi Ms. Single Mothers Startup! This is Kate Richardson, Senior Admissions Consultant. I was intrigued when I saw your profile name and I admire your commitment to helping other women through technology. You also have a strong personal story that shows your resourcefulness and drive and I think will resonate well with Harvard. With a degree from a great engineering program, plus MBB and top tech experience, I think you will bring a prestigious resume, and your international experience is a nice bonus too. While your GMAT is below Harvard’s average, I’ve seen applicants (especially from underrepresented groups) get accepted with similar scores. It sounds like your leadership at work is strong, and although you might be lacking leadership in extracurriculars outside of work, you …
