After graduating from with an MBA, my goal is to shift careers to Venture Capital or consulting with a focus on climate impact. I shaped this goal during my work experience at Group Black, a mission-driven startup that facilitates investment in minority-owned media businesses. For nearly four years, I worked to help establish an equitable media industry and learned how purposeful businesses resonate not only within marketplaces, but within me. My experience was formative, but I aim to expand my lens beyond media to fully understand my impact potential.

You have a unique background coming from media space.

Seeing other applicants from the US with similar scores, I think you have a realistic list of schools so could’ve done that.

Congratulations on the interviews at UNC and Vanderbilt by the way 👍

PS. Your chances will imparted depend on the admissions and how they feel about your chances of getting recruited into your target job. I probably would not expect any scholarship offers but if you were looking for that, you will need to bump up your score by at least 30 or 40 points.
