请问M7对working mom录取的态度

-东风惑-

想问一下各位前辈，各大不同的学校的AO对一个有小孩的女性申请者的态度怎么样？我有听说过有AO很喜欢working mom的，也有听说AO会concern有了孩子的妈妈会对MBA community的贡献有限（因为第一年actively recruit之后，第二年就会相对闲散了）。不知道大家对此有没有了解？或者有哪些在读的MBA麻麻可以来解解惑？主要是犹豫要不要在essay里面突出一下自己有了newborn之后的life reflection。谢谢！

另，楼主的背景：
美本top25 商科背景的duoble major GPA3.9
GMAT 700 (努力考了五次，最高分700）实在不好意思说自己是中国学生
四大会计事务所5年，2年洛杉矶所3年纽约所。early promotion + top rated刚在今年八月底生了一个可爱的女娃娃
因为自己G低，想在essay或其他方面加强一下

Kellogg是最family friendly的了，刚刚去看了学校，每周五晚上举办kids party，几十个小孩在那边玩得可好了，走廊里到处是推着婴儿车的奶妈奶爸。别说有一个小孩，我见到一个瑞士老兄有三个小孩，照样study+recruit顺风顺水的，刚刚拿到贝恩咨询的实习。我跟他说他怎么管理时间的，他说他没觉得带三个娃会影响MBA，他有一个女同学，已经有一个娃，读书过程中又生了一个，照样group study+student activities+recruit不耽误。

太多working mom/dad读了MBA而且非常successful, 如果要申请m7, 我觉得你该担心的是你的GMAT,不是你working mom的身份。每年都有700进M7的,不过概率不高。

很多学校都有kids club啊应该没有问题

读MBA的working mom! 一路走来都不容易的。可以多分享一些MBA期间的经历吗？如果可以的话，真的希望可以有一个working mom MBA的组织/ 微信群。

Hey there,
Schools are generally quite open minded about this. Yet at the same time, I am not sure it is a subject for an essay, the reason being is that your essays should be focused mostly on your professional life with the goal of making you the best possible candidate, and I am not sure how an essay about a newborn would do that.

Best,
Jon Frank

Working mom的申请人相对偏少吧，很难知道AO的态度如何。不管怎么样，尽力准备材料去申请吧，AO对此的态度 ...

哇塞你作为working mom GMAT770太厉害啦！！！大牛！一定没问题哒！你在国内么？可以沟通交流一下不？

Working mom的申请人相对偏少吧，很难知道AO的态度如何。不管怎么样，尽力准备材料去申请吧，AO对此的态度也不是我们能左右的。我也是working mom, 一起加油~

thanks for your suggestions! I definitely agree with you. Actually I had the packages ready for a couple of my top choices. However, I have no additional chance to retake the GMAT since I've used up 5 times. I'll have to wait til June to take the test...

Hi fellow New Yorker here! Seems it's a crunch to meet R2 DDL, my suggestions are:
1) craft your CG before drafting essays (i.e. where your passion in LT CG stems from, logical connection btw ST & LT goal, linkage of past experience and ST goal)2) LoRs of some schools require multi-page questionnaires: you probably need to prep them (in bulllet pts) what are your key achievements, what's the most important constructive FB they've provided to you etc.
3) if your GMAT falls far below average of your top choice, you can give them heads up and let them know you can retake after submission of package.

Good luck!
