Hi Ms. Tech Researcher, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. Sounds like you are working to tie your personal passion of social impact and education with your experiences. There are so many interesting things going on in education right now – and paradigms being broken because of Covid.

In particular I like your teaching and mentoring are aligned with where you want to be long term. I think you goals are achievable and ambitious – what a program will look for. And while I can see how social sector consultancy could make sense – I’d want to push you to explain why …

Hi Ms. Tech Researcher, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. Sounds like you are working to tie your personal passion of social impact and education with your experiences. There are so many interesting things going on in education right now – and paradigms being broken because of Covid. I am excited that you aspire to improve access to education in developing countries. It looks like you have strong professional and extracurricular experiences. In particular I like your teaching and mentoring are aligned with where you want to be long term. I think you goals are achievable and ambitious – what a program will look for. And while I can see how social sector consultancy could make sense – I’d want to push you to explain why – and why not join a larger education focused organization to truly understand what is going on in global education. Take a look at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation or Sesame Workshop. I think the question to answer would be why wait to jump into education? I think your chances are strong across your list of schools. And wish you the best of luck!
