alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1579 When are you applying? Can you show impact at work? Are you involved in activities outside of work? I wonder if you're aiming high enough, with your target programs. If your WE is strong, and you have good goal focus, might be worth exploring 1-2 M7 programs also? (0)

grichmond Verified User. Likes Earned: 1151 Thanks for sharing your profile! I agree that it would be good to know a bit more about your experience to date and your ECs. For CPG, I'm wondering why Kellogg isn't on the list?

anon64501 Likes Earned: 1 OP here. I guess my first comment didn't post so I'm writing it over. I was addicted to heroin for years, went to jail for 2 years. I've been sober 5 years and work in leadership and marketing roll at a glass replacement company. ECs are all helping recovering addicts and marketing. I even went back to the jail as a guest speaker recently. Not sure if I'll get in anywhere due to my past. (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1579 Wow, well done in recovery!! This could play either way in admissions. Because you are helping recovering addicts, that might push adcom to be more positive. Be very interested if you could keep us updated on your progress. Best of luck! (0)
