MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

Hi there!
Curious if Filipinos are over-represented in B-schools and if there are fellow Filipinos out there preparing for this 2021 intake.
Bit of an introduction -
Profile:
I'm 27, based in Makati, has 7 years work experience for both the government and working for a private water utilities/investments firm, not an engineer though I work on project management, communications and strategy.
Interested to pursue an MBA to get into consulting and hopefully ADB/World Bank someday. Some international experience (exchange abroad, work conferences and field visits for work). Average student in undergrad, and I haven't taken the GMAT yet though I'm studying for it now.
B-School Selection
I'm currently looking at Singapore b-schools (though Korea and Japan are also choices though I don't speak the language) since it's closer to home, though not sure of my chances yet. Preference is SMU for their 1-year program.I would prefer a strategy and social impact-focused MBA though and it seems Singapore b-schools are finance-heavy.
Preparing for Round 2 or 3 of SMU (January 2021 intake) or Round 1 of either NUS or NTU. Also checking out Kyoto University (but it's not ranked). I've given up hope for INSEAD because 1. GMAT average 2. price 3. amount of essays

Hi,
In all my experience working with more than 1,000 students over 20 years, I would say that an overly represented population group is getting more and more common. To that end, Filipinos are also getting more popular as a group. Having said that, it is all about your story. What have you done differently, what have you learnt, how have you grown and how will that help you in your career - answer these questions in an articulated manner and you will not struggle to get admission offer irrespective of the group you belong to.
Your background is quite interesting and definitely will make for a strong application if you get a solid GMAT in top 30 schools.
Hope that helps,
