Dear LB20,

Congratulations on your score! Based on your post, you have a strong foundation for a competitive application. Your essays, recommendations, and interviews are critical to the ultimate decision as these components give you a chance to shine and make your case for a seat in the class. Be sure to convey your successful leadership and teamwork experiences in your essays as well as a solid rationale for getting your MBA in relation to your past experiences and future career goals. Finally, I would encourage you to consider adding at least one safety school to the mix as a backup plan. It is possible you will be at a top 10 with a great application, but it is always good to hedge when it comes to business school admissions.

Best of luck,
Lisa
