Hello! I'm a potential applicant to HKS for a concurrent degree (currently interviewing for partner MBA programs as well). I'd appreciate if anyone had advice for HKS applicants who are coming from business backgrounds/business school mindset. My goal is to work in nonprofit/social impact consulting but I don't really have experience in this area, and my work experience is nontraditional for both policy & business programs.
About me:
-Male, not URM
-2014 graduate in Economics
-3.3 GPA, average state institution
-4 years of work experience
-Worked as a business analyst at a public policy research firm
-Worked in a research support position at a research center affiliated with several academic institutions worldwide (including HKS)
-Strong quantitative resume I think... 2/3 of my transcript are math, econ, finance classes and I did well in advance logic course series, and my work experience has involved a lot of data and financial analysis
-740 GMAT score
