How might a MBA help you get to your future career goals and how will your new company be different from your current company? I do think you have a competitive profile – with your robust academic track record, community leadership, and differentiated work experience. I think if you can present your career goals story compellingly, you’d have a strong shot at GSB. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!
