GMAT: 710

GPA: 3.24

Location: Chicago

Notes:

S/T professional goal is to work in CPG brand management, L/T goal is to become an entrepreneur in the food & beverage industry. Full-ride at Kelley is hard to beat, and after visiting Bloomington & Nashville (visa issues for my gf ruled out ESADE) I can safely say I fit in better in Bloomington - more diverse and progressive. Go Hoosiers!
