I couldn’t sleep last night and decided to turn my Monday scaries into an MBA research night.
I’m a 25 yr old female Hispanic with 2 yoe in risk consulting (i.e. IT auditing). Graduated with 3.7 GPA in finance from state school. Given my school and field, I think the best chances to go through a prestigious school is through MLT or Consortium.
Have any tips or recommendations on the timeline? Would you recommend applying for both programs? I would like to start fall 2022 (preferably) or 2023,

Apply to MLT for the Fall 2022 cycle if you can! Final deadline is this Friday 10/30 to apply. January to submit a test score. Program will kick off in March more than likely. Feel free to DM if you have other questions.

Nothing wrong with IT Auditing, just call it IT consulting or Risk consulting like you did, and sell the consulting similarities
