Hi,

Your profile looks competitive. Strong academics, solid work experience, good extracurricular activities. You'll just have to put forth strong essays that demonstrate leadership capabilities and reason for getting the MBA now.

It would be helpful to get some clarity for your short-term goal, and show that you have the transferrable skills to succeed in that role. And show passion and motivation for your long-term goal.

The goals will also help guide you in school selection. I recommend reaching out to current students to learn about how each school can support you in achieving your goals and interests.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions! http://marveladmissions.com/contact-us/

Good luck!

Christine Lin
