alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1676 What have been your roles in education? Are you able to show impact, at work? How does the MBA help you reach your goals? Are you involved in activities, outside of work? Numbers look decent. Depending on your work experience, impact etc., I'd wonder if you should consider 1-2 M7 programs too? (0)

An MBA helps me reach my goals because it allows me to network, learn and experience different functions and industries in the social impact/nonprofit sector. I do mentoring outside of work. (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1676 Very good. Do you have any specific goals in the non profit/social impact space? If you have passion for a specific goal and pathway, that will further help. (0)

anon88770 Likes Earned: 8 Yes! My short term goal is to do work for a corporation like Amazon in their corporate social responsibility division and my long term goal is to direct a nonprofit focused on improving education domestically. (0)

anon88770 Likes Earned: 8 Alex, thank you so much for including me on the podcast. Little more info. I got a 163 V/ 158 Q so my quant is a little on the lower end. I did Teach for America so I teach in a low income area. I did MBA math and will attach my transcript to my application to show I am working on the math needed in an MBA program. (1)
