Hi Nisha,
Thanks for reaching out!
1) In brief, the main reason for me to pursue an MBA at this stage of my career is mainly to switch the path of my career. I have been associated with analytics since I have been working and now I feel that, combined with my analytics/data science experience, I can add a lot of more value to decision making in an organisation. Moreover, analytics is a service industry with a lot of clients. Having been exposed to almost all of them, I now want to augment my retail industry knowledge and an MBA will help me achieve that.
2) I am a seasoned theatre artist and have also undertake various endeavours with regards to children's education and theatre
I intend to apply with the 690 score that I have. It would be really helpful if you can you also suggest some other good schools in which I have a fair shot of making it.
