Dear MAC Approved,
Please could you provide me with an evaluation of my profile:
28yo male, Korean (US & UK Citizen)
Columbia University, Mechanical Engineering, 3.67, graduated 2011

I applied to Rd 2 last year to the following schools:
Wharton (rejected)
CBS (rejected)
Ross (waitlisted without interview, rejected)
Fuqua (waitlisted without interview, rejected)
Johnson (MBA/MHA dual degree - accepted, but couldn't attend for personal reasons)
This year I am targeting the following schools:
Sloan
Haas
CBS
Ross
Fuqua
(Johnson)
(Stern)
I hope to work in a strategy role in the healthcare industry and have been trying to target schools with good healthcare programs.
I understand that I have a very patchy work history (several gaps greater than 3 months) and an apparent lack of focus (which I have tried to correct by joining my current company, a medical device startup) - but I am curious as to whether my target list of schools seems appropriate. Your evaluation and advice would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
