Hi Ms. Investment Banker,
Impressive that you independently closed 3 proposals totaling millions of dollars! This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. I like that you have done well in your career, going from research to co-founding a fintech company, and now to closing deals in banking. Given that you already have a MBA and CFA, two key questions AdCom might be wondering is what a second MBA can give you. And why now? Be sure to be specific about what skills you aim to learn at Wharton that you didn’t learn from your first MBA program as well as on the job. Additionally, dig deep into your experience. For instance, I’m sure you gleaned unique perspectives from starting a fintech company – how have they shaped you as a leader? Finally, consider going beyond your resume to help stand out from the crowd. For example, I like that you’re actively engaged in your community through advocating for financial literacy. What motivated you to become involved? If you can peel back the onion to share with AdCom your inner thinking and motivations, I think that will help your Wharton application stand out. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!
