Hi,
Thank you for any assistance in reviewing my chances at my target schools and also identifying any gaps in my profile:
Below are my stats and plans for B-School:
- 710 GMAT (48Q/40V/8IR/6AWA)
- 3.42 GPA (upward trending - 3.0 first year, 3.8 fourth year)
- Undergraduate degree in Economics from UVA
- Work experience includes 4 years (will be 5 when leaving for b-school) in Technology consulting, doing mainly systems engineering in the healthcare industry, for a Big-4 consulting firm
- Currently applying to secure company sponsorship with a return offer prior to applying to school
- Outside of client work, also involved with undergraduate recruiting, internal innovation competitions, a mentorship program for new hires, and experience working on two successful business development efforts
- Extracurriculars: coach a local little league baseball team and support my significant other's small business as the logistical/business support. Founded a mental health support organization during undergrad and held two executive positions in my Fraternity.
- My b-school story is likely going to be focused around the development of my passion for the healthcare industry in my four years in consulting and how I want to leverage the experiences gained from an MBA as well as schools with healthcare concentrations/majors to eventually be in a position to drive healthcare innovation for the benefit of the patient. I will likely be returning to my consulting firm post-MBA in order to honor my sponsorship and receive reimbursement but would eventually like to be working for either a large healthcare device company or a tech firm in their healthcare department with a focus in operations/management.
- Age: 26
- White
- US born
- Male
Target Schools: Wharton, Sloan, Haas, Fuqua, Darden, McCombs, Anderson

Hi, and thanks for writing! You have a solid profile and good extracurriculars, so I don't think any of the schools would be out of reach for you, especially if you secure sponsorship from your current firm (though Wharton and Sloan may be stretches, as they are for most all applicants). Two keys to your candidacy will be: getting exceptional recommendations that highlight your strong performance & potential vs. peers, as well as genuinely explaining the motivation behind your goals - what interests you in healthcare, and what experiences sparked your passion for wanting to improve the patient experience? This will help the AdCom truly see what drives you.
Hope that helps - let me know of any other questions!
