Hi PEguy01, thanks for reaching out- will make comments below in blue.
Demographics: Age 25, Male, American
GMAT: 720 (Q48 / V40)For an American male this is an excellent score- certainly won't keep you out of a top program but there still has to be more to get "in"
Education: BS in Finance and Economics from a top 50 public university; 3.6 GPA; 3.9 Major GPAExcellent to have the 3.6 overall
Work Exp: 2 years in Investment Banking; 2 years in Private Equity (upon matriculation) - both focused on the TMT sector. Significant experience working on tech m&a and working with rapidly growing tech companies. Played large part in helping with campus recruiting initiatives as well.all looks good.

your odds at H/S/W are tough only because they are for everyone- but if you can demonstrate to Harvard that you have had an impact as a leader in mulitple areas of your life you certainly have a shot. Better odds at Columbia and Booth and kellogg just because there are indeed better odds in their selection process. I would add Tuck to your list. LBS and INSEAD could be good options if you want that International exposure. The question to ask yourself- and I don't have all the info here to help you fully- is HOW AM I DIFFERENT than all the others who want to do PE with MBA? So your TMT experience helps you know that sector better- could you target PE for that area? You should try to leverage what you bring that sets you apart and then also really wow these programs with your thoughtfulness on why you'd be a good "fit" there which you can only do with dedicated research. And admissions consultants could help you better understand the landscape and personality of top programs- if you want to learn more about how we could help- here's a link with a 5% discount: https://stratusprep.com/admissions/busi ... b-visitor/ Hi PEguy01, thanks for reaching out- will make comments below in blue.
