October 23, 2024 4:46pm ET
Applying: Berkeley / Haas, Harvard Business School, MIT Sloan, Stanford GSB
Intake Year: 2025
Pre-MBA Career: Software engineer at Google -> Airbnb -> Twitch. Currently tech lead on a safety team but have worked across different products like maps, shopping, ads and safety.
Post-MBA Target Industry: Entrepreneurship
GRE: 326
GPA: 3.2
Years of Work Experience: 7
Location: San Francisco
Notes:

African American male - 28.

My goal for an MBA is to build tools for music creators. I joined a band during Covid and found a passion for digital music creation and machine learning, but I lack the business skills.

Top Choices:
HBS: Offers cross-registration with Berklee for classes like audio engineering and entertainment law, plus a chance to collaborate with potential users and experts in the music field.
MIT: Media Lab aligns with some of the audio breakthroughs I’m interested in

My challenge is a lower GPA. How can I offset that weakness?
