Will try to be detailed so you know the other factors admissions may have considered in whatever decisions they made.


Demographic info: I am a straight black man from Alabama who comes from a low-income, single parent household in a high crime area. I am not first-generation but only because my parents recently got degrees, not because they had them while I was growing up. Will be 26 at time of matriculation.

Education Info: I do not come from a very well-known school, but it is highly respected within Alabama. 3.63 GPA. I led clubs, volunteered on and off campus (and still volunteer in my free time), and was on the executive cabinet in my SGA. I started in civil engineering and transferred to finance after a summer internship showed me a glimpse of the business world. I worked through college to afford tuition and food.

Career info: I do not come from a typical MBA career background. I'll have about 50 months of experience in government and DoD contracting, working as a financial analyst and program controller.

Post-MBA, I intend to go into management consulting, focusing on due diligence and turnarounds, then transition to the operational arm of a PE firm or search fund.
