Hi there,

Thanks for posting. It sounds as though your profile is solid for a MiM degree; Duke & Ross may be a bit tougher for you among your list but things look good thus far. I like your extracurricular, volunteering, and especially supervising the volunteers experience.... see what you can do to showcase teamwork and leadership skills, and any international experiences. Also be clear about exactly why you want the degree and how you see it benefiting you. Good luck on the applications!
