Congratulations on your interview invite at Kellogg. Good Luck!
Also, awesome job on your startup. I think MBA can help boost your confidence and help expand the business. At the same time, it may also suck up the funding that can used elsewhere in the business. It is a hard trade off but the idea of scaling it makes a lot of sense! I think a school such as Columbia or Stern would be interested in particular in your profile and see it as a match. MMM is a great choice as well!
Good luck!
Actually I have never thought Stern would be interested in my profile, but I'll do some research about them in case I am not admitted to any of the schools that I applied to!
