Profile:
• International Applicant (North African)
• Undergrad at a target business school in Spain (think IE/ ESADE BBA) + exchange semester in the US
• GPA of +8/10, around top 15% of cohort (400+ students)
• A few solid finance internships: Private Equity, Fixed Income, and Real Estate Finance
• Strong GPA and extracurriculars: member of a VC/PE association and another finance association + founded a sports finance platform
GMAT: 615. I think I could raise this to ~635/645 if I give myself 2 more months before R2, but realistically I don't see myself going much higher than 655.
Given my profile, what are my chances realistically and any advice/insights please?
Thanks a lot for any insights!

Mrunal here from Involve Consulting.
You have a very interesting profile and tick a lot of boxes - from a less represented background, good undergrad, international experience, good work experience and good extra curriculars. With your current profile, we feel that you can look for those colleges who are more focused on Holistic profile with strong international experience - INSEAD and ESSEC. That being said, other colleges too are not out of reach and we can help you understand and figure out how to get there with a free Profile Evaluation. In the same, we can also recommend other colleges or courses that would fit you too.
If you’re looking for a such an evaluation, please reach out to us on contact@involve-consulting.com or reach out via LinkedIn
