Notes:

I’d like to get an understanding of what my chances would be at these business schools if I were to apply for the upcoming cycle, which would be four years of teaching at matriculation. I am TFA in Hawaii, and at my low-income rural school in Oahu I am curriculum lead, committee head, and a basketball coach. I’ve also started a scholars program at my school to improve college and career readiness and standardized test prep for junior and senior students, and have received distinguished ratings for my past two teacher evaluations. (Also as a note, during undergrad I had internships in F500 consulting, quantitative trading, and marketing at an Ed tech startup).

Should I try to stay a fourth year at my school and apply to school next year, or should I exit the classroom after this year and look for another job? Thanks so much!
