Hi @Admissionado,
I wish I found this forum earlier. I'm in the middle of preparing my essays but still appreciate if you could still help me do a quick evaluation below.
• Profile: Female, 27 years old. From Vietnam, studied and worked in Singapore for 9 years and currently living in the Bay Area since Jun 2018.
• Interested program: Evening & Weekend MBA at Haas (targeting Round 2 deadline this cycle) & MIT MBA (maybe next year's cycle). Main reason I'm applying for part-time MBA this year is because I'm expecting a baby earlier next year.
• GMAT: 700 (Q 49, V 35, IR 6, AWA 5)
• TOEFL: 104 (R 30, W24, L 25, S24)
Undergraduate: the National University of Singapore, Bachelor of Science in Real Estate. Award full scholarship but my final GPA is not high, second lower degree (equivalent to B to B+, about 50-70th percentile).
Work Experience: ~4.5 Years (Singapore from 2013 to April 2018)
I’ve been with only one company after graduation and progressed from a local junior position to a more client consultative role at the regional level. 3 promotions within 4.5 years.
I don’t have a full-time job since moving to the Bay Area in Jun 2018 to join my husband but continue doing part-time to help a non-profit organization in Vietnam. The organization aims to help less previledged students to find scholarships, courses or internships that will help prepare them for a full-time job. Work includes training interns, writing proposals to seek funding, fine-tune their web design with IT and designer. All is done remotely via email or skype calls.
