current senior in college (top 15 public school) applying to deferred programs. interested in the intersection between technology, sustainability, and business - want to work in sustainability strategy for a company, sustainable VC, or start my own sustainable tech company --> looking for more entrepreneurial or data-driven programs


internships: Kaiser Permanente, Truist Financial

extracurriculars:
2 years Business College Ambassador & Resident Assistant, 1 year Orientation Leader for incoming students, 4 years Student Government (highest position was to supervise a program including 40+ first-year students), 3.5 years of sustainability research in business department & business frat, 1 year leadership & sustainability fellowships, 2 year executive position on sustainble fashion organization, 1 year student consultant in consulting org (semester-long sustainability consulting project with different org as well)

I recognize that I am far from a perfect applicant, so hoping to do well on the GMAT to make up for a bad GPA. I also plan on using the additional essay to explain the extenuating circumstances below.

Extenuating Circumstances: bad gpa a combination of helping family during cancer battle and eventual death of father, some mental health struggles

Please let me know if you have any advice or suggestions as well! Thanks!
