Hi @cjcalero24 , I hope all is well.

Your background in finance aligns well with your post-MBA goal of transitioning into private equity, but your GMAT score of 585 is significantly below average for programs with strong private equity pipelines and will need improvement. Aim for a score of at least 645+, to demonstrate stronger academic and quantitative aptitude. Your GPA of 3.4 is respectable. With 3 years of work experience on the lower end for MBA programs, gaining additional exposure to private equity or adjacent fields such as investment banking or corporate development can help boost your credentials. Emphasize leadership and impact in your current role, showcasing skills like financial modeling, strategic thinking, and stakeholder management.

As we have very little information now, we cannot comment much on your profile. If you’d like, we are happy to discuss your leadership skills, impact created, challenges faced, awards and achievements and extracurriculars to assess your chances to top B-schools and strengthen your application with impactful stories.
