Hi Bvbouba,

Thanks for writing and sharing your most unique profile. I have a feeling there's a lot more to your background and motivations than what you shared. You'll want to frame your essays and reasons for seeking an MBA very clearly. As I think you recognize your profile is very unique and if presented clearly, most schools should be interested in at least learning more about you. I may call Wharton and Booth a reach at this point given the limited information I have, but I would rate the others as competitive.

Best of luck,

Daniel Richards
