Showing impact and growth at work will be very important. Are you also involved in activities outside of work?

What are your long term goals, post MBA? Any geographical preferences?

lemasterj3 Likes Earned: 0 Cumulative GPA over four years is lower, but that’s from my graduating institution. My involvement outside of work has been limited since the onset of the pandemic and from relocations as a part of my job. Long term, I want to pursue internal strategy in a F500 organization. I’m pretty geographically agnostic. I would prefer not to be in a small town. (0)
