So your full time work experience was during law school? Can you clarify? Showing impact and growth at work will be very important. Significant ECs sounds very good.

What are your post MBA goals, why MBA etc? Focused goals is best.

VERY sorry for the late response, I missed this entry, which is unusual.

Will be explaining that in my optional essays too ! Post law school will still have 3 more years of work ex. Immediate goals would be SI/Sustainability Consulting, long term- Entrepreneurship. And thank you for the insights :) (edited) (0)
