Hi Alex, thanks for taking the time to review all these profiles! I'd appreciate your take on mine--
Demographics: 26 yrs old, Female, American, white
GMAT: 780 Q50, V48
Education: 3.39 in public policy and economics, well known public school. Graduated with honors.
Work: 2 years, business development/account management in leading govt. IT contractor. Led account team in partnership development resulting in increase in contract wins.
2.5 years, government service, worked overseas (developing country) in foreign language for very unique/elite govt. agency (yes, I said it). Supervised team and changed USG stance towards new issue.
Extracurriculars: Pretty good in college. Mentoring group at work first two years. While overseas was a leader in a charity group and led several initiatives (fundraising, grants committee)
Application: Shooting for Stanford, Berkeley, (perhaps) Kellogg, and UT Austin. My goal is to do business development for an international food company with focus on sustainability. I know this is a big change so I'm trying to connect the dots in the essays. The recommendations are glowing but not crazily specific.
I welcome your thoughts! Thank you,
EEK
