Hi carolynniers,
Thanks for posting your profile! Firstly, let me congratulate you on your strong career achievements (promotions, sponsorship for your MBA)! They provide the Admissions Committee with a sense of how you perform at work, and the top schools like the ones on your list are looking for strong performers with a track record of impact.

Your GMAT could be a concern for the Admissions Committee, as it is below the average at the schools on your list. How many times have you taken the GMAT? You might consider retaking it; if you can get it closer to 720/730, it will make your profile more competitive.

As you pull your apps together, be sure to describe what motivates you to be passionate about your goal to transition to non-profit consulting? Why MBA?

If you can articulate this compellingly in your essays, that would be the key to your application success. If you would like to discuss your profile in more detail, feel free to schedule a 1:1 consultation with us. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!

Sincerely,
Debbie
