Hello everyone! Thank you for the review. Below is a quick outline of some of my experiences and qualifications.


UG: Small non prestigious school in New England. 3.92 GPA - 2023 Grad - Business Administration

Current organization: Rural healthcare facility with roughly 700 employees and $300M in annual revenue.

Work: Project manager - Strategy and Business Development (October 2023 - Present)
Appointed by the CEO, I helped lead org's enterprise integration with large world-renowned health system, owning administrative and operational integration planning while co-leading clinical integration efforts. I coordinated cross-functional leaders across IT, finance, supply chain, and clinical services to align decision-making, workflows, and systems impacting over 700 employees. Prior to this, I’ve delivered $1M in annual supply chain and pharmacy savings, generated $8.6M in incremental revenue through pricing optimization, and reduced vendor contract costs by $280K annually. I also led a 30-day operational turnaround of a high-volume consumer services operation under a compressed timeline.

Financial Analyst (April 2023 - October 2023)
As a Financial Analyst, I developed advanced Excel-based dashboards to improve financial visibility and identify $21M in under-collected revenue. I partnered with operational leaders to resolve workflow inefficiencies, improving the clean claim rate by 8% and reducing third-party denials. I also developed financial models and supported external audits, strengthening leadership decision-making and positioning me for rapid advancement into a broader strategy role.

EC: Founded Astronomy club (college)
BJJ/Martial arts instructor (Assistant coach/fundamentals coach October 2024 - Current)

LOR: CEO of current organization. Have known for 3+ years and who I report to directly. Supportive of my MBA plan.
Others if needed (worked closely with for 3+ years) - COO, CMO, and CFO.

MBA Dream Targets: In order of preference, MIT, Tuck, Kellog, HBS, Stanford. (HBS and GSB unlikely, but will apply since there is nothing to lose)

Test: Targeting and zeroing in on a 675-685 focus

Reason for MBA: I want to move from rural hospital/healthcare operations, integrations to system level strategy, corporate development and or health tech.

Hey, your work experience sounds very differentiated. The good thing is b-schools like applicants who have experience working in organizations that do social good, and I believe you would have ample of stories where you can show impact. Overall, it sounds like you will have a very strong resume- you should make it crisp and impressive by showing the $$impact of your work.

One suggestion for you is that as your work is on the finance and operations side, it would really elevate your profile if you got involved with some volunteering/ grassroot level activities where you have a direct interface with the patients/ other beneficiaries of your org's services. As your post MBA goals are also in healthcare, this will round out your profile very nicely. Also, it seems like you don't have many ECAs post graduation, so any volunteering work for the next 9 months will fill that void.

For b-schools- you may also consider Duke and Haas for their healthcare focus. Wharton has a very well know healthcare concentration - if you are interested, reach out to the program manager, as they vet applicants separate from the MBA programs (or rather, in addition to the MBA program).

I would love to have a profile discussion and understand more about you. feel free to set up a call by filling this form: https://mbadecoder.com/services/free-pr ... valuation/

Thanks for the review! I was not aware of Wharton's HCM MBA, so I will look into this!
