Show Notes

Our first candidate is an Army Ranger (Special Forces) and no doubt has some pretty amazing experience. They have a very solid GPA and a good plan regarding their post MBA goals. Their GRE score is 319. For the programs they are targeting, this might well be high enough, but we wonder whether they should have one more go at trying to boost the score into the 320s. We think they belong at an M7 program. Our second candidate has a very unorthodox background, which includes 15 years with the fire service, before attending their undergrad program, which they are now completing. This presents several challenges that the candidate will face, and which we discuss in detail. A top GMAT score will help, too. Our final candidate is an aerospace engineer with outstanding numbers. They are a little earlier in their career and their goals are not as well developed as we would like. If they can develop their goal focus between now and the round 1 deadlines, we think they will have some good options.
