Hey there!
Great to hear from you.
Soooo lots of questions here before I can answer you fully.
First and foremost, you write you have a compelling story, but what IS your story? You are a professional artist? Awesome! That's rare! But what do you do? and what does it have to do with your MBA? Does it have any link with fashion? Do you have any experience in fashion? What Ivy League did you graduate from? what was your GPA? What happened when you got sick? How did this change you? Also, regarding your professional experience: What do you ACTUALLY do? Do you have any leadership? any awards? What have been your greatest achievements?
If you are going to apply "against the numbers" it's true that your story has to be very solid (although you should also hedge your bets by expanding your school list), and I don't feel like I have enough info or story yet to really understand where you might stand.
So get back to us with more info!!!
I hope this helps! And feel free to drop us a line for a
free consultation.
Best,
Jon
