Hi! You sound like a strong candidate for a part-time program given your professional experiences. I like that you have that entrepreneurial background on top of your operations work. I think that will help set you apart from other applicants coming from similar backgrounds. Remember, as you pull together your applications, really try to highlight your professional accomplishments, not responsibilities, and look for stories that will showcase and bring your strengths to life.

Also, strong work experience isn't everything in a business school application. You also need to present outside interests, particularly those where you have played a leadership role. Lastly, the letters of recommendation are a crucial part of the application.

Best of luck,

Rachel Beck
