7) Post MBA - I want to work in operations management role with the aim to move into general management position after gaining 3-5 years experience.
Thank you in advance!

I think you are stretching a tad. Not ridiculously so; you certainly have a chance at all 4, but I would l also like to see you apply to at least two slightly less competitive programs that would still be strong in operations. Also consider Purdue, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, and Michigan State.

Hi, Tai. I just wanted to add that I don't think you should be emphasizing the PMP certification process right now as much as extracurricular leadership. A certification is nice but it doesn't prove ability as much as leadership impact does!
