Dear emalby,

Based on the limited information in your post, you appear to have a solid foundation for a competitive application to top MBA programs. Whether or not you receive admission offers will be determined by how well you present your background and rationale for an MBA in your application packages. Use the essays, recommendations, resume and interview to your advantage to make a compelling case and distinguish your application from the competition.

Good luck,
Lisa
