Apologies for the sparse detail - here's a bit more context: Previously worked in the oil & gas industry on commercial side for a few years, then joined McKinsey as a researcher specialized in the energy practice. After a few years, I switched paths to the consultant track (still focused on energy). Goal is to develop out my toolkit in finance and sustainability to return back to industry and lead the charge in sustainable investment/business development. I chose these three schools because of their academic rigor and quant focus - I want to build a network of other engineering/finance peers. Outside of work, I volunteer ~15-20 hours a month mentoring high school debate programs at disadvantaged schools and sit on a related nonprofit's board. At work, I lead 2 external engagement teams (e.g. recruiting). Other fun facts - I was the only woman in the first cohort of my undergrad's energy mgmt program, grew up internationally, picked up Arabic language as a hobby, and play 4 instruments! Curious to know your thoughts on my goals to enter PE/AM post-MBA, given I do not have an IB background. (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1579 Wow! A lot to like. The goals may be a stretch for PE etc. But you do have a very interesting profile, overall. Love the learning Arabic as a hobby. Assume it’s also helpful in your career. Might be worth looking at HBS/Stanford, also? (0)
