Hello
ali_parkar,
Thank you for your post. You have an impressive GMAT and strong work/leadership experience. Since you are coming from a competitive set of applicants, you will want to figure out how to differentiate yourself in the applicant pool. Part of this will be applying to a broad range of programs. Where else do you anticipate applying to along with Haas? Keeping in mind your post-MBA goal of product management, you may want to look at Wharton, CBS, Ross, HBS, and Kellogg as well if you are open to exploring additional U.S. programs.
You will also want to articulate a more specific post-MBA goal. Since a lot of MBA hopefuls are interested in these big tech companies, you want to share how you will make your unique mark.
Another way you will want to differentiate yourself is through your personal story. Crafting a strong story here is part of our
comprehensive services and one of the areas that
