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?

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.
