Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry. Based on the information you have provided I think that you would be competitive at the schools you have listed and very competitive at Duke in particular. This is definitely an honest assessment. Keep in mind that Haas’ small class size makes it particularly competitive.

Since you seem to have a strong profile with the qualities that business schools are looking for, the key for you will be how well you present your achievements in your essays. Make sure that you take the time that you need to reflect on what you have done and select the best experiences to write about. Good luck!

Sincerely,

Akiba Smith-Francis
