Awesome profile. I would recommend to you another awesome Brazilian former attorney who is doing his MBA at Darden right now and who’s joining MBB next year - his goals were project management or consulting and your backgrounds seem quite a bit similar. He has been able to leverage his law degree to great extent in recruiting in the United States so this is going to be a great advantage for you as well. If you want to message him on GMAT Club, is user name is @MaliFri.

Do you have an awesome long-term goal. It’s great to have a vision that is personal and unique. I would recommend getting quite specific and granular in your short term goals. I assume you would be recruiting for some tech p.m. rules among the top companies in the US?

Thanks, BB! Especially for the @maliFri contact, as it is great to know some inspiring stories. What do you honestly think about my chances at the schools i've listed? Thanks again!

Hi. It is a good question. I can tell you right away that no consultant will tell you that you suck but you are in luck cause I ain't no consultant. Alright. that was a bit of a bad joke, but there was truth in it, nobody wants to kill anyone's dreams. A lot about applications is about your confidence and about how you present yourself.

I would say you picked what i would consider pretty aggressive goals but I think reachable with some help from a friend who can back you up. At the same time, I would say most except UCLA would be no-scholarship programs. If you are considering/looking for scholarships, perhaps worth going down a tier to Fuqua, Ross, Yale, Darden, Johnson, Stern.

I don't do much of profile reviews and I don't consult and I have no idea about the strength of your applications and stories but with lots of assumptions, that's my take. As. usual, it is good to apply to a spectrum of programs to get feedback in R1 and readjust for R2.

That's awesome! Good choice of the program by the way! Kellogg also has a Family Business Program but no J-term. Congrats on the interview invite by the way!!!

Hey! I have a query regarding GMAT, Do we get to choose the business school we want to apply and does gmat send marks to 5 chosen colleges for free?

Wow. Amazing accomplishments! Congrats. Any chance you can bump your score a tiny bit? I feel 314 is low-enough to keep you from places such as GSB and Haas potentially and that would be a shame if something as silly as one number slows you down... I know you are shooting for R1. I would say save at least 1 target school for R2 and perhaps try to improve the score. I guess they can WL you too if they like everything except the score... anyway, that's the biggest potential weakness at this time.

I think this might be worth your time- www.mbaconquerors.com .

We have applicants especially from Overrepresented pool with a higher chance of getting admitted. Also, we have a top 10 or refund challenge you could try.

Your profile is solid but the GMAT is tad below the average score. If possible, try to bump your score by 20 points and with anything 700 or above, you should be a solid candidate for the PGPX.

1. Try to bump your GMAT to 740 or above.
2. Work experience of around 3 years is not good. So, probably get done with GMAT this year, and then use the rest of the year to apply in R2 2024 (Class of '26), or R1 2024 (Class of '27).
Reach out if you need any other help.
