You need to get your background story straight. You went from asset management (was this actual asset management or operations/support) to marketing/your family business and now you want to go back and get an MBA in finance? Why? What's the bigger picture? Has has your journey to date inspired or helped you see where you want to go.

Your applications should support the story you're trying to tell.
