White male, 30. Currently work in video game industry. Multiple promotions throughout my work at a startup (5-6 years, promotion schedule considered fast) and wear many hats. Manage multiple teams, while also pushing finance, operations and business initiatives as company scales. Want to stay in industry, but want to move to a strategy role (perhaps analytics focused). Applying to FT, but also considering PT (Each program listed I'm considering both programs, but Kellogg I'd love to do FT) due to age and current work. Long term goal is to take my knowledge and experience to help found a startup, or work at a gaming focused VC. ECs include mental health volunteering post-undergrad (took off a year and volunteered every workday for that year) and diversity initiatives within the gaming industry. Was a late bloomer, but I know age is an issue. First gen college grad. I know my GMAT isn't stellar (48Q/41V split), nor is my GPA, but wondering what people think my chances are. I'll be retaking the GMAT online soon to pump the numbers if possible, I think I've got more in the tank for verbal. I really love Kellogg for fit, as the team approach and values/culture align well with me.
