White male, first in family to go to college. When to Ohio State full ride. Strong EC's : leadership on two very active boards, in past mentored teens creating startups to improve local neighborhoods. Currently at "gold" healthcare IT firm with strong placement at all of M7. Independence has allowed impact (i.e. standing up new business units, negotiating $3M in savings on $9M contract, etc). I know I'm at low end of curve for HBS/GSB... others I feel like in the right range. Should have great rec's as well. Submitting all R1.
