Any other schools I should consider?
Advice? Suggestions? Etc.
Thanks
Hellasick,
You have reason to be optimistic given your outstanding academic record and professional experience.
I don't see current or recent community service or EC's. Try to make time for them. Those non-professional activities can improve even your profile.
Could you tell me what you want to do post-MBA before I recommend schools?
Advice, keep up the good work. If you would like
help with your MBA applications or with school choice, please consider Accepted.
Best,
Linda
