Hi imnk,
Thanks for your message. I reviewed your profile similar to other candidates' profiles when I worked as part of a top tier program's admissions committee.
I would choose HEC Paris and ISB from your list. However, you may want to also consider adding a few more schools to your list from the ones below, as they continue to demonstrate an excellent focus in nonprofit and social enterprise.
Haas
Kellogg
Fuqua
Stern
Tuck
Wharton
HBS
Oxford
Based on my experience over the past 6+ years, you have gained strong exposure in both a large firm and start-up environment, not to mention exposure to several prominent functions and industries though. Additionally, your academic background is in the competitive range for these schools and displays your ability to handle the rigorous curriculum. I would not retake the GMAT as a 680 is a competitive score for these programs and other schools above, based on my experience last year.
Keep in mind that for the schools mentioned above, it will be imperative that you effectively communicate your personal and professional background, along with your aspirations for business school. Make sure that the other aspects to your applications are produced with unwavering quality. I have read many online posts from candidates with similar backgrounds who were rejected from their dream schools, not due to a gap in their background but due to an inability to effectively share their background and aspirations for an MBA.
I hope this helps you. If you would like to further speak directly with our consultants who are former admissions committee members or our recent admits at any point, please visit
