Hi PRI23YA,
Thanks for reaching out with your profile. I think you have a lot of strengths - robust academic achievements (strong GRE, good undergrad, Dean's list and other awards), robust career trajectory (Best Employee and other awards), and interesting extra-curricular activities! I think you would be competitive for the schools on your list.
As you pull your apps together, be sure to describe what motivates you to be passionate about your career goals. Why corporate finance or strategy consulting? These are quite different paths, so when you write your essays, it's a good idea to choose one and explain why. Also, given your finance background, why MBA? What specific skillset or knowledge are you seeking at business school that you are not learning on the job?
As well, don't hesitate to weave in your personal stories from your extracurricular activities, for example, why are you passionate about dance? Why did you choose to fundraise for MAD & Dreamcatchers? If you can articulate these stories compellingly in your essays, that will help your profile stand out from the crowd. If you would like to discuss your profile in more detail, feel free to schedule a 1:1 consultation with us. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!
Sincerely,
Debbie
