Ms. Project Mananger

Hi, it’s Nisha from mbaMission. There’s a lot to like in your profile: outstanding academic performance (and in a rigorous course of study), early career progression and a current high-visibility role, solid international exposure, and meaningful leadership involvement in your company’s affinity groups.

As competitive as your target schools are, I think you’ll be a solid contender if you 1. fully communicate your professional and personal impact 2. get excellent recommendations that attest to your performance and potential, especially vs. peers. 2. Dig into the motivations behind your career goals (what drives your passion for technology?) and 4. make a strong case for why each program is a fit for you based on its culture and resources within and outside of the classroom. Best of luck!

Hi Ms. Product Manager, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. You’ve got a lot for Wharton to like! Strong stats, experience through an LDP and your current skills in technology could be leveraged into consulting. While you are lower on the years of experience, an LDP generally gives you a chance to experience more across a company than staying in 1 role for 2 years. As a less experienced applicant, you’ll want to highlight the leadership experiences you’ve had to show that you have enough experience to contribute to classroom discussions. Were you involved extracurricularly at Northeastern? This will show a pattern of involvement and indicate you will be an active contributor to your class. As a serial mover myself, I also know the flexibility and adaptability you gain though multiple moves. How have these experiences helped prepare you for an MBA? Are you more empathetic, understanding what it’s like being in a new culture – domestically or internationally? Can you leverage this in an MBA class as the glue brings the class together? I think you have double the average chances at Wharton with a strong story of leadership. Reach out if I can answer any other questions.
