Please let me know what you think. I welcome the tough/honest feedback.
What are your post-MBA goals? It isn't clear why you moved from political campaigns to an e-commerce start-up. Explaining this move and how an MBA will get you to your short-term goal will be very important.
Your stats aren't all that great so your essays and recs will need to be.
