alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1842 Super numbers! Are you targeting Round 2? Showing impact and growth at work will be very important, supported by strong recommendations. Are you involved in any activities outside of work?

Be good to learn more about your post MBA goals? Focused goals is best. Also presume you want to be in DC, post MBA?

My recommendations will be strong and I am involved in providing free college admissions counseling outside of work. I want to stay in education and work in education consulting or EdTech prior to making my own nonprofit. I do want to be in DC. (0)
