Notes:

Applying 2024 for 2025 intake. I think my stats are pretty average across the board, I think the real differentiator is going to be work experience. Mining feels like a typically underrepresented industry in MBA programs, and I am hoping that helps.
Long term goal is to move into a corporate development role within a mining company, but to get there do a couple years in management consulting. Work has one promotion and a clear increase in responsibility and impact as I have progressed. Undergrad university is a pretty average state school (T50 range) but I had a double major in engineering and finance. EC I work as a volunteer ski patroller in the winter (Tuck is pretty high on my list for having a ski patrol club / access to the mountains)
