Hey there!
Sorry for my delay in answering you here. I was around for business. But now I'm back in action!

So first of all, I would love to get more detail about you, especially regarding your Work Experience. IT seems pretty good, but if you can give me company names and elaborate a bit more about your specific achievements and what leadership you have, I could understand a whooooole lot better!

It would also be good to understand what your goals were, as this can also help me advise you.

Otherwise obviously your BIG explanation to do is your GPAs.. They are pretty darned low. And you do seem to have some good reasons, but it's really really important to explain that. Thankfully your GMAT is quite high for your target programs, and I feel like if you can give them a good story, you can allay their concerns. If you apply to these programs with a great application I feel like you should be able to get into at least one of them. As for scholarships, that's much harder to predict as that will depend heavily on who applies. I wouldn't count on it, necessarily, although it's always possible.


If you'd like a more in depth review, feel free to fill out our questionnaire and we'll dig in DEEP: https://admissionado.com/free-consultati ... n=mba_blog

Thanks for your reply! It really means a lot to me!

Well both of them are considered as start up companies. Following are the necessary details:
24 Months of Work in Hong Kong
- Company: The Natural Tea Company (H.K.) Limited

10 Months of Work in the Buffalo/Amherst, New York
- Company: Edinfocom Corp. and assistance in its Affiliates "Manage Your Business" & "Dawn Learning Center"

My goal is deeply inspired by my former employer, an owner/CEO of my former workplace and a professor of my alma mater.

Realizing that Business Analyst position is currently in high demand and my desire to step into U.S. job market regardless of my international student status, I see myself to be a contributor of in Business Analytics industry, chiefly in Healthcare or Education fields.

My long term goal is to be an entrepreneur/business owner and perhaps a business analytics or education position as a slideline. both former and current job requires me to work in several department simultaneously. This gives me a better idea of the importance of each department, the business that I would like to engage in, and subsequently the departments required for the business.

Hopefully the above information could help.

Hey there,
Great to hear from you and have more information!
So I think your work experience is good but your companies are relatively small or unknown. again, I think given your GMAT this is not an issue given the school list you have provided.

You will have to work on your goals though, to come up with something more precise and tell a more convincing story.

Other than that, for sure apply in Round 1, so that if things go less good than expected you can make up for it in Round 2.

Best,
Jon
