Question, what are my chances of getting into these schools and what can leverage to improve chance of success
Hi there, Thanks for sharing. I almost moved to Botswana once - lovely place! I think it’s a good idea to aim for that high gmat score as I’m a bit considered about your GPA (you converted to 3.1) High gpa is quite important for these schools but of course they will be looking for a balance between this and gmat. For LBS you’ll need some int’l experience - do you any ? exchanges abroad, working internationally, in’l clients etc? I think your target schools are a good choice but always nice to have to reach schools. Have you taken any leadership roles through this volunteering and hobbies? They will be looking for a habit of leadership. Congrats on the marathon! Even that that is quite a feat, there are a lot of people that put that in their apps. If y Target GMAT 720-750
