How impressive would change management consulting be on an MBA app? I know it’s no strategy but how prestigious is it compared to other areas of consulting like tech or ops?

But let’s say I do great work in all my projects.. how impressive is CM per say? Where is it on the project prestige hierarchy?

I honestly have no clue what purpose is served by change management. And I are one.

That is, other than lining our pockets.

STAR method to explain what you did. But no I don't really see it standing out by itself in an MBA application. As Ac1 says boils down to the assignments and how you did. Coupled with the competitiveness of the MBA you are applying for.

Its just a type of project management

This reply makes me think of the hype around design thinking which again is rewrap of agile and product management feedback looping. Happens with every field. Just gotta take the marketed glasses off.

I wouldn’t worry. Undergrad GPA and GMAT is what will get you through the door. Tons of people with non traditional backgrounds get an MBA from a top 20 program. All about how you sell yourself and your past accomplishment. Leadership/community opps you’ve had inside and outside of work is also a huge bonus.

Thanks for the support!
