Profile evaluation for Jones, Owen, UNC Kenan-Flagler, Healthcare/Pharmaceuticals background, from Canada

Congrats on your profile!
CFA should make you a strong candidate for a score waiver. I would maybe consider touching on your GPA in the optional essay but I’m not sure if you’re using it for anything else....

It seems like it would be a good candidate for an evening program but being in Canada it probably doesn’t work very well.

I would strongly suggest to have them defined and very specific goal in your application than essays and not keeping it open ended or flexible. At least in the application. You can do whatever you want on your own but it will make you stronger in the application to the admissions committee if you have a very specific call Down to the company you want to work at.

Since you don’t have a test score, that’s one less date point for you and evaluation of your profile by the admissions so they will look at your work experience very closely specifically looking at promotions and compensation. Keep that in mind.

I like that you were stretching your applications into multiple rounds. There is valuable experience you will get after round one and so it would help you with your round two applications..

Hi, applying into multiple rounds does not require you to land the deposit in every decision release?

Not in every round. Unless R2 performs much better with a scholarship.

But yes, if you get admitted in round one to a great program, you will have to make a decision whether to make a deposit or let it go before hearing the results of the second round but it looks like the schools distributed in the way that round two is more of a safety along with Johnson being an opportunistic application which would be worth letting go of a potential admit to UNC or Owen.

Hi ksc07
Since you are applying with a waiver, ensure you build a strong narrative around your work experience. With 8 years of experience, I am sure you will have a lot to highlight. Be it impact or leadership skills or major projects that you were a part of or even if you have global experience. Your GPA also looks a bit on the lower end for the schools you are applying to, thus ensure other aspects are strong- LORs, essays.
Good Luck!
