Hi,

Thanks for your post. You certainly seem to have an interesting profile. Your job in supply chain isn't as common for business school applicants as those from other industries such as consulting and banking. This will certainly help you stand out in the applicant pool.

Your academics seem quite good and on par with some of the top 15 programs in the US. Your interest in dance is fantastic. I strongly encourage you to find a way to weave the experience into an essay for each application.

In regard to scholarships, most business schools do provide scholarships to some female candidates. Each schools qualifications are individual, but most do indeed offer some type of financial assistance for those in minority groups such as female candidates. I strongly encourage you to look at programs such as Darden and Cornell.

Best,

Stacey
