Please Suggest which other colleges I can apply to
Also, I am from the army background which meant moving from a place to the other frequently. This has helped mold me as a person and I think helps my candidacy as an MBA student as forming relationships/communication/good leadership skills are inculcated in me because of the examples I have had around while growing up.
Please highlight my strengths and weaknesses which I could address in my essays. Looking forward to your responses
Thanks in advance!
