HSW are missing from your target list of programs, I’d think you might want to look at 1-2 of those, especially Wharton? Showing impact and growth at work will be key. (1)

anon10837 Likes Earned: 16 Hi Alex. I majored in Economics at a Top 10 University in the US according to US News. My current and previous roles are somewhat quant based (I'm a Business Intelligence Analyst and previously worked in Growth Marketing) but nothing incredibly technical. I might apply to HSW but I haven't done enough research around any of those programs yet. (0)
