  • Odds Assessment: 15%

    Hi there! It’s Stephanie Horn, Master Consultant with the MBA Exchange and recent Poets and Quants “Top 10 Admissions Consultants”. Ms. Petrochemical, I think you are on the road to getting an MBA at a top-tier firm, but you are not quite there yet.

    Hi Ms. Petrochemical, Krista Nannery here from mbaMission.

  • Stratus Admissions Counseling Odds Assessment: 10%

    Hi Ms. Petrochemical, Lisa Cummings of Stratus Admissions here. I agree with my peers that this may not be your year to apply given your short work history. Why the rush? Use the next year or even two to position yourself as a top tier candidate. I also suggest getting that GMAT score up – doing so sooner rather than later will allow you to focus on other areas you can strengthen. Go after leadership roles at work, even it you are a leader without the title. Build relationships with managers so you will have people lined up who can write you letters of recommendation when the time comes. I love your extracurriculars – Toastmasters is an incredible organization …
