Hi all,
would be thankful for your evaluation!
Background and nationality: BIG3 Consulting, Eastern Europe
Undergrad Information: top uni in an Easter European country (but not top in outside of the country), economics, GPA 95/100
GMAT: 700 (Q45, V40)
Work experience and leadership: 2 yrs corporate finance, 2 years consulting
Community and others: lots of EC in undergrad (student club president; case contest winner on a country level); some good EC during work (mentorship)
Post MBA goals: short-term - consulting; long-term - industry where I have prior experience
Schools: Wharton; Chicago; Columbia; Haas (?); Stanford (?)
What is better: apply w/current GMAT in R1 or apply with (potentially) higher GMAT in R2? (Everything else remains unchanged)
Thanks

well for a consultant i would say your Quant is rather on the low side. If you are certain you can get it up to Q48-Q50 then waiting until R2 would certainly benefit you.
keep in mind that schools not only look at your scores but also at your post MBA goals and if those are in line with those goals.
since consulting companies pay a lot of attention to the Quant analytical part, it's possible that the schools would not choose you due to the fact that they will fear they won't be able to place you.
additionally with the gmat you currently have, i would say all 3 schools listed are reach schools for you, since you are below the average GMAT
Wharton; 730
Chicago; 730
Columbia; 724
Haas (?); 725
Stanford (?) 737

Hi eka27,
Thank you for your post. What was your undergraduate degree in? From the limited information I have (and it's very limited), I recommend you apply to a couple of R1 with current GMAT, provided you submit a really strong application. Be sure you are introspective and include why you need an MBA from these institutions in particular. If you do not think you have enough time to submit a strong application to R1, then wait and apply to R2. Just submitting an application will not increase your chances, unfortunately.
Happy to continue the conversation with a free 30-minute consultation. If interested, please reach out to coordinate (contact details in signature).
Good luck!
