Notes:

Interested in working with startups/enterpreneurship in EEMA, fintech. Think Moniepoint, TapTap Send, Blockchain, payments startup. I work at MBB in the US and have a 3.76 GPA from an Ivy+ university in the US. I have firm sponsorship. Strong leadership experience, started as project leader 1yr+6 months ahead of expectation. I have international work experience which is very tied to my career vision. Going to MBA to break out of consulting into impact investing and startups. the GRE V is my only weak spot. But I received a best thesis prize from undergrad which speaks to my written and verbal. I have asked my recommenders to speak on my verbal and written skills. Do i actually have a shot?
