Hi, it’s Jennifer Jackson from Stratus Admissions. I am so impressed by your background and all you’ve accomplished! Your GMAT is excellent and will serve to mitigate a softer GPA. It sounds like you’ve overcome a lot with health challenges plus a difficult upbringing. You don’t say if you were a 1st gen college student — schools will give these students a special look. Either way your personal life wins are super impressive and I love to see when people are involved in initiatives outside of work related to their career goals and interests. The fact that you want to use your financial knowledge to help underprivileged populations is admirable and schools will admire that aim and believe that you’ll do it because you’ve …
Hi, it’s Jennifer Jackson from Stratus Admissions. I am so impressed by your background and all you’ve accomplished! Your GMAT is excellent and will serve to mitigate a softer GPA. It sounds like you’ve overcome a lot with health challenges plus a difficult upbringing. You don’t say if you were a 1st gen college student — schools will give these students a special look. Either way your personal life wins are super impressive and I love to see when people are involved in initiatives outside of work related to their career goals and interests. The fact that you want to use your financial knowledge to help underprivileged populations is admirable and schools will admire that aim and believe that you’ll do it because you’ve already started. The DEI work at your firm also bolsters this aspect of your profile. Your early promotions at work are a huge plus as well. I’d like to see some more clarity around your goals — what specifically do you want to do in social entrepreneurship? What type of role would you want and how can Wharton help get you there? Why is now the time for an MBA and how would this ST role prepare you for your LT career aspiration? Being more explicit about your intended path will serve you well. I wish you lots of luck with your applications!
