Looking to apply round 1, specifically Early Action at Duke as it is my top choice. Promoted 3 times at current company, Project Leader for 3 separate technology implementation initiatives for vertical at Fortune 500 bank, as well as leadership team member for acquisition. GPA low due health situation that impacted first two years of undergrad, made Dean's List final two years at Top 50 undergrad. Have client facing/transaction experience in banking but have been drawn to strategic initiative implementation the past 3 years, leading me to a desire to shift into consulting, specifically strategic/management with a focus on organizational behavior/mergers. Recipient of Presidential Service Award for community service related to environmental protection, state champion lacrosse coach. Would love to be on the East Coast (Boston or DC) as I have family in both cities. Thank you for any feedback!
I have applied in R2 for 2024 entry to CBS, MIT, HBS, and GSB. I did not receive an interview invite for any school except the GSB. I am wondering what my reapplication chances are and where I should focus on my areas of improvement. I have significant undergrad ECs but limited ECs/ charity work post undergrad.
