Hi! It would be amazing to learn more about your profile (companies worked at, Undergrad course, etc.) but here is a quick evaluation from us:

Profile strength: Solid 6 years in technology with a strong GMAT Focus 725. GPA is slightly below top-tier average (3.4) but your work experience and test score make up for it. Columbia is realistic, but highly competitive.

Strengths:

6 years of tech experience with clear depth and progression

Excellent GMAT Focus (725) provides strong quantitative credibility

Post-MBA goal aligned with pre-MBA experience — makes a credible story

Considerations / Opportunities:

Columbia is highly selective; ensure impactful storytelling in essays highlighting leadership, problem-solving, and tech strategy.

Given your profile, also consider applying to other top US tech-friendly programs:

MIT Sloan MFin or MBA (tech/strategy focus)

Stanford GSB (reach, but possible)

Haas School of Business (Berkeley)

Kellogg (Northwestern) for product/tech management

Verdict:
Your profile + GMAT Focus is competitive for Columbia, but diversifying applications increases your chances at similar top programs. Focus on leadership impact and tech strategy stories in your application.
