Hi there!
I'm looking to apply to b-school for R2 and with a very mediocre GMAT score (660 Q47 V34), I'm hoping to find a way to ensure that my application doesn't get thrown out right away.
There's a lot of emphasis on internationality and demographic diversity in some of the schools that I'm considering (LBS, Oxford, Cambridge, USC, and HKUST), so I was wondering if there was any opportunity to use my dual citizenship as some kind of advantage? I hold both UK and British passports, as well as citizenship in Hong Kong.
I was wondering if declaring myself one or the other could be to an advantage for different schools? (e.g. for the UK schools, apply as a Canadian so that I am considered "more foreign"; for USC apply as a British national for the same reason)
Curious to know what the opinion is on this!
In case other parts of my profile would be interesting to evaluate:
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Chinese (but with the confusing dual citizenship situation listed above)
Undergrad GPA: 3.85 liberal arts degree from NYU
Work experience: I've had a bit of a confusing trajectory -- I had a solid uphill climb in the fashion PR world, but after 3 years of that I decided I wanted to change drastically and took an assistant position in public affairs (I plan on addressing this heavily in my application -- my reason for going to business school is because I want to run with the public affairs stuff. I think corporations are becoming increasingly sensitive to public affairs issues and will need to learn to properly engage with the government)
