I applied last fall, and I am currently enrolled at a T20 with half scholarship. I will be withdrawing to work for another year as a teacher.
Stats: 3.72 Biology GPA, 164V 163Q GRE. White male.
Work experience: 1 year at an environmental non-profit, 3.5 years working in energy and sustainability for the state government, and 10 months by June 2022 (term appointment) teaching environmental science to underprivileged kids at a public charter school. I would be applying R1, so a couple of months into teaching.
Volunteering: 1.5 years of volunteering (2 at matriculation) to get kids and their families outdoors fishing at weekly events. Promoted a year into leading boat tours of the river as a paid role. This experience with kids is why I think I got the teaching role. All the people I work with here would be great recommenders.
Goals: Consulting for a few years and then start my own non-profit focused on getting kids outside.
Schools: I applied last Fall and got into all of the T20 schools I applied to, and one T15. Rejected at 2 other T15s and left on Fuqua WL until last week. I was hoping to target Darden and Yale, but I was wondering if I look like I could get Kellogg.
Any and all feedback is appreciated.
