Dear Stacy Blackman Consulting,

Hello! If you can, please advise me on the strength of my MBA application, detailed below:

1. undergrad gpa (B.A. History): 3.1 (Cumulative) 3.4 (Major). (I did score almost all 4.0's my last year of college, you can see that there is a healthy upward incline in my grade performance)
2. Studied abroad one year in Scotland- for history. I thought this would at least make a unique point :)
3. Target school: UCLA
3. GMAT score: Have not taken yet, but have been scoring consistently around 700
4. Extra Curricular: help start a non-profit, several years of volunteer teaching in low-income areas, church volunteering.
5. Other mentionables: 3 years college and city club rugby.
6. working four years in project management in the tech industry. (3 promotions) hoping to use MBA to make career change into

Please let me know if you can advise me on my candidacy for UCLA's MBA program. Thank you!

Hi pchun008,

Thanks for your post. Your numbers indicate that you have the intellect and focus to thrive in a top tier MBA program. Nothing about your story makes me think there is any reason why you cannot be admitted, but nothing stands out telling me why you should be admitted. All of the reasons why a top program would admit you are in the details of your work experience, personal experiences, personality, values and overall story.

If you'd, we have a free overview of UCLA's MBA program here: https://www.stacyblackman.com/business-s ... -anderson/
