Showing fit for each program you apply may be a very important factor. Make sure you reach out to all the veterans’ clubs at the programs you apply. What are your long term goals? (1)

anon23452 Likes Earned: 50 Thank you! Yeah, I've definitely been reaching out to the Vet clubs at each program, especially as I work interview prep. Abbreviated version here, but post MBA, I plan on joining a consulting firm, focusing on alternative energy (fits background as a Nuclear Surface Warfare Officer) to develop a large clientele network as well as gain experience in the business and energy sector. I'd then like to transition that experience to a startup focused on providing a sustainable and economic energy infrastructure solution to developing nations (fits background work in Africa). (1)
