Notes:

I am looking to use my MBA to pivot from consulting into industry management roles (hopefully through a leadership development program). I have spent the past three years working with banking and insurance clients streamlining cost structures and improving processes. I am currently helping our firm launch a new business unit which has given me an opportunity to hone my skills in an entrepreneurial environment. I believe that the MBA will allow me to hone my skills, broaden my network, and give me the best chance to pivot into a leading company.

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1582 Do you have any industry focus, post MBA? That may help sharpen your goals. Are you involved in activities outside of work? Numbers look good. Experience sounds very solid. Target schools look about right. Might add 1-2 reach programs, from M7. (1)

anon22776 Likes Earned: 155 Since your numbers are good, if you are willing, you can add programs like Kellogg and/or Columbia which are top programs and have good placement for consumer goods leadership programs (2)

loganmcdivitt Likes Earned: 1 Thanks for the replies! I am heavily involved in my local church. I serve as a greeter and I am also involved in various service projects such as feeding underprivileged children in our community. I also volunteer in the warehouse of a medical nonprofit that sends medical supplies to third world countries. I'm interested in manufacturing companies, automotive, or consumer goods (really any industry besides technology). (1)
