Your research on schools will show you that your work experience is inadequate. You may wish to postpone your plans yo apply once you have gained 4-5 years of work experience.

Hello Mohammad,

Investment banking is a well-trodden MBA path, and schools like Wharton, Booth, and Columbia place strongly in the sector.

Your GPA of 3.72 is solid, but without a GMAT score, your profile lacks competitiveness. You will need a 700+ to be viable at your target schools, especially Wharton and Harvard.

Also, your stated goal of being at Goldman Sachs in 5 years comes across as generic. You need to refine your goals to show how your specific IB experience in Pakistan differentiates you and how you will leverage an MBA network to transition globally.
