Hi,

Thanks for your post. I think your profile can be competitive at the schools on your list. Academically you are in good shape with your solid GPA and GMAT score. Your professional experience to date at a top company is great. Your career trajectory combined with your various roles with certainly boost your profile. However, I think one of the most compelling aspects to your candidacy is your volunteer work. I hope you are able to incorporate your experience working with the youth with autism into your essays as this long term commitment is truly compelling and distinctive.

Best,

Stacey
