Notes:

Love listening the podcast on the way to work, makes the drive fly by!

I'm a 30 y/o, male, white, Army Officer that graduated from a small senior military college. I had leadership roles in the corps of cadets and in multiple clubs throughout school. I started my career as an Infantry Officer, graduated from Ranger school, and led two infantry platoons before transitioning to work in Army Finance. Completed two graduate certificates at the University of South Carolina (24 credits 3.9 GPA). I'm currently stationed in Germany and manage the planning, execution and reporting of an ~$140M budget.

I'm pursuing an MBA to pivot into consulting with the long term goal of assuming a leadership role in a startup/small business in the sustainability or health/fitness fields.

I've had minimal community involvement. My focus has been on the Army and Soldiers at the expense of other efforts. I've completed 2 100km ultramarathons in the Alps, and I am using my next race, 50 miles on 5 June, to raise money for the Ocean Cleanup. https://www.gofund.me/810c31bb

Is my GRE competitive for M7 (164Q/163V)?
