If you want to be in LA, post MBA, I assume Anderson and Marshall are your top target programs?

Showing impact and growth at work is key. Are you also involved in activities outside of work?

Given you want to be on the West Coast and in tech, the likes of UCLA, USC, Berkeley, Stanford, and Foster immediately come to mind...but it would also be helpful to know more about your career trajectory, accomplishments, and to have a test score in hand.

Best of luck!

Also, I applied using a test waiver due to my experience. I do live in LA and would most likely return to LA after graduation but I'm open to explore opportunities elsewhere, not completely tied to staying in LA. Scholarships will play a major role on my decision, this is one of the reasons for applying to several schools. (1)
