Hi Hjort,
Can I trouble you for a bit of advice? I've assembled my profile (background, what I plan to do, etc) and am wondering if it is solid enough for a good application. I know I'm missing some post-college community involvement but was wondering: what else should I be focused on? Would appreciate any suggestions or advice you have!!
Thanks in advance for your help, (I'm incredibly grateful!),

Current Position: Application/Project Manager at Healthcare IT firm (ranked leader in industry, competes with Siemens/Cerner/etc); have 4 direct reports; work on two customers where am lead manager/consultant for product implementation; specialize in change management/execution/system and idea adoption. I have worked there for 2 years, had 2 promotions since starting; 3 pay raises. Position has considerable responsibility/accountability with 85% travel within US.

From your experience, what do you think? Do I have any hopes? Any areas to further develop/build experience in? other schools I should be looking at?
