Could you please evaluate my profile and let me know what my chances for admission are for the M7 schools (in Round 2), namely:
Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Kellogg, MIT, Booth, Columbia

I am sorry if I am vague on details but need to protect my identity.

1) Basic demographic info

Location: Somewhere in Asia
Age: 31

2) Educational Background:

Undergrad: One of Harvard, Yale or Princeton, majored in one of the natural sciences, GPA 3.5/4.0
Grad: Other top school, master's degree, GPA 3.7/4.0
GMAT: 760 (Q50, V44), AWA 6.0

3) Work experience: what is your current role?

By the time I enter in fall 2013, will have 5-6 years of experience at a top tier global investment bank (working in mergers and acquisitions). Promoted from analyst to senior analyst, then to associate.

4) Extracurriculars

Yes, but will not mention here.

5) Short/Long term goals: what do you want to do after your MBA? Any geographic preferences?

Hi,

You seem to have a really strong profile. Most of our clients who got into these M7 schools don't neccessary profiles as strong as yours.

If you can demonstrate strong leadership capabilities, get awesome recommendation letters, you should be fine.

To get into PE or VC, be sure you show that you are ready to do a lot of networking on your own, (or even better, show that you've already established some network in the area). Start doing lots of informational interviews of people working at PE firms and VCs if you have not done so. Having a deeper understanding of the career goal, and underlying passion that drives you to the goal would strengthen your application.

I would be happy to talk to you and give you a better assessment if you're interested in getting admissions consulting help. Please feel free to send me your info, and we can schedule a time to talk. http://marveladmissions.com/contact-us/

Good luck!

Christine Lin

Hi,

Your profile looks pretty decent with good GMAT/GPA. With 5 yrs. of work experience, you have fair chances of being selected in b-schools. Please go ahead with the list of your b-schools. But why only M-7? You can even try your chances in b-schools by clicking http://www.general-ed.com/chances-of-bschool .

The selection in b-school mostly depends on application essays and interviews, where you can demonstrate leadership traits and achievements at work place. These cover around 60% to 65% of the entire b-school application process. For more information on interview tips & preparations, click http://bit.ly/XQVp4s

Let me know in case of other concerns you might have. You can PM your number to discuss over your profile and selection of b-schools.

Cheers!!
