Hi,
I would really appreciate if you could estimate my odds. My profile is a bit rare in this forum since I've never worked for well-known companies. I'm a kind of enterpreneur. Let me explain.
- Spanish, 27 years old, male.
- B.S IT Engineering in a top tier university of Spain (I don't know my gpa, but i was ranked on 20% of the class).
- 730 on GMAT (Q:49, V:41) just taken once.
- 107 on TOEFL.
- Work experience: 2 years as a IT Engineer in a small firm. 2 years in a mobile services related start-up. We were only 4 people when we founded it, and now we have grown until 20. We rose 2M€ in a first round of investment, and currently we are waiting for a second one. Nowadays, the company operates in Spain, Latam and Uk.
- Extracurricular: I have led a group of 4 engineers to develop an Iphone/Android social app in our free time.
- Target US-Schools: (Tier1) MIT, CBS, (Tier2) Berkeley, NYU.
- Target Non-US-Schools: IESE, LBS.
- Post MBA Goal: I want to switch my career. I would like to enter in a top strategic consulting firm such as BCG o McK. However, I'm also interested in other fields (private equity and banking).
The thing that really puzzles me is my work profile. I don't know if somebody with my work experience (start-up and small firms) could get into a a top US B-School. What should I do in order to improve my application?
Thanks in advance for your advise!
