Hi Ms. Traveling Banker, I also see “vocalist” and “social mindedness” in your profile apart from being a “traveling banker”. Very interesting background indeed. This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. I think there are a lot of strengths in your profile – robust academic track record, strong professional trajectory, as well as outstanding community leadership (social work, passion for education and women’s issues). Not to mention of course your personal achievements as a singer. Your GPA is a shade soft, but your GMAT score should offset that. Nevertheless, if there were circumstances that affected your GPA, consider addressing them in the optional essay. As you put your apps together, the key is to weave in your personal and professional stories into a compelling narrative. For example, …
Hi Ms. Traveling Banker, I also see “vocalist” and “social mindedness” in your profile apart from being a “traveling banker”. Very interesting background indeed. This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. I think there are a lot of strengths in your profile – robust academic track record, strong professional trajectory, as well as outstanding community leadership (social work, passion for education and women’s issues). Not to mention of course your personal achievements as a singer. Your GPA is a shade soft, but your GMAT score should offset that. Nevertheless, if there were circumstances that affected your GPA, consider addressing them in the optional essay. As you put your apps together, the key is to weave in your personal and professional stories into a compelling narrative. For example, given that you’re doing very well at work, what is the impetus for an MBA? What specific skills or knowledge are you seeking at Wharton that you are not getting on the job? Also, I suggest being more clear in your future career goals. If your goal is to achieve Director level at an international investment bank, how does that fit in with wanting to explore fintech opportunities in startups? These are quite different career paths. In your essays, I think it would be clearer to AdCom if you picked one path and make a solid case for how an MBA will help you reach that goal. I think if you can present your narrative in a clear, compelling way, you’d stand a strong chance at Wharton. If you’d like to discuss your profile in further detail, feel free to schedule a consultation with us. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!
