Notes:

My plan for a future career is to expand my network (for either entrepreneurship or career pivoting to a higher paying job). Google is my dream but I've never been able to break through. My background is mostly in tech/gaming/AI and I've only been at one major Seattle based company for my entire post-undergrad career. I am open to part time at like Berkeley or MIT Sloan, or quitting (laid off if that happens) to pursue this full time. I plan to study for the GMAT and feel confident I can get 700+.

Uncertain of my low undergrad gpa (from premed classes) and professional career being diversified enough for a strong application. Dream is Stanford > Harvard / MIT > Everything else selected > Foster UW
