Sponsored by Big 4 consulting firm. I studied engineering + CS in undergrad. Most of my work at my current firm to this point has been supporting tech design + implementation for a Health and Human Services gov't agency. I have been involved with tons of internal sustainability efforts and pro-bono supported a LATAM-based economic development nonprofit. Hoping to use the MBA as a way to develop more sustainability + finance fundamentals to come back to current firm and lead decarb strategy engagements. White M. I know my GMAT and GPA are below avg for schools I'm looking at. Will sponsorship be enough to make up for it?
