Hello everybody,
Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I'm 28yo and planning to apply for American bschools for classes starting in 2024/2025. I have quite some time to prepare and hope to get a 740+ score on GMAT
I joined a renowned military high school at the age of 16. Afterwards, at the age of 19, I joined and attended the Air Force academy for 5 years, where I got my undegrad degree and master's degree in Aerospace Sciences. GPA should be 3.9 (Italian grade being 105/110).
I've been a fighter pilot for the Italian Air Force since then, but never done any real abroad missions. Still got some experience tho: I trained for almost one year in Texas with top American, German, Danish, Turkish pilots, just to tell some.
I'm starting a long process to leave the AF because I'd like to change career and I dream of joining one of the top 10 bschools, but I really don't know whether my profile is a right fit. I'd consider top 20 in case I couldn't make it. My goal is to get a general management job in the US.
What do you think my odds are?
Hi
marcoplebs,
From what you have described, you have the raw material.
A lot will depend on Clear career goals aligned well to your profile, decent extra-curriculars, and of course a compelling story that aligns your journey to a rather unusual choice (Airforce to Business).
If you are able to present a well-polished application to the adcom, and a 740 GMAT, you stand a chance in the top 10 with scholarships.
You have time on your side. Best to start preparing early.
Happy to schedule a 1-to-1 session to discuss your profile, and answer your questions. Ping me on my LinkedIn (link in my signature) to take it forward.
