I studied political science and management in France, and graduated (Bachelor + Master) with 3.8 GPA for both and from Top college/University. I wanted to become a government/public sector consultant in Africa to make in impact.


I went back to Africa post graduation and worked 3 years in public sector strategy/investment consulting in a boutique consulting firm (created by ex-MBB partners) in Africa.
Later, because I got amazed by the potential of private sector in fostering impact and improving lives (while navigating the investment programs I led during my time there), I decided to pursue another goal : work in private sector management consulting to help businesses grow and bolster social impact.

I quitted my job, and joined a T2/T3 international management consulting firm in Europe, to work with private sector clients across the African continent.

But I ultimately want to join MBB (in the US and then in Africa) to work for bigger firms, across multiple sectors, to have more international exposure and gain more business experience in a developed country/market before going back to Africa and bring change. That is why I want to do an MBA in the US.

Here are my questions :
1- What do you think my chances are ?
2- Is it reasonable to apply for an MBA with that goal (staying in the same industry) ? Will the schools see such goal as "not ambitious enough" ?
3- Is the goal of moving from T2/T3 firm to MBB adequate for Top MBAs in the US ? How to show that getting an MBA is an absolute critical step for me while I am already in consulting (4.5 years of experience at matriculation) ?
