Hi everyone - thank you guys so much for taking the time to evaluate my profile. I am thinking of applying to do my MiM if I don't like the role I will be working at in the next year (Technology consultant with EY, specifically in SAP - I start next year in the Fall). I would be applying then for R1 Fall 2021 to do my MiM (at that point I will be 24 turning 25 years old). My goal is to utilize the network and program to lateral into a strategy focused role (think MBB, Monitor Deloitte, EY Parthenon, OW, Accenture).
I am currently a 23 year old USA/French Citizen male.
Academic Background:
My father is American, mother is French; I studied Electrical Engineering and a minor in Computer Science at a target school in Canada, GPA is a 3.45/4.00. However, my past 2 year GPA is a 3.70/4.00. (I've done significantly better in the latter half of University). I speak French and English fluently and have been fortunate enough to travel all over Europe, Iceland, Canada, and the USA.
I am a proficient programmer in Java, C, OCAML, and Python, and have taken courses in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Data Structures.
700 GMAT, 2 letters of recommendation; one from my coach (Princeton undergrad, Harvard MBA) and one from someone who I volunteered with extensively (Cornell undergrad, Berkeley MBA)
Practical Experience:
EY Technology Consultant (specifically SAP Team) - will start in Fall 2020 and plan to work for a year then apply)
Summer internship 3: Boutique Tech consulting firm (ran a full-scale implementation of a KS software and rolled out to 90 employees)
Summer Internship 2: F500 Engineering company as a sales engineer (50+ client-facing meetings, more of a support role)
Summer Internship 1: Pharmaceutical Company Data Analyst (excel macros, data forecasting)
Extracurricular:
French National Team - competed for my sport int he World Championships last year (considered an honorary captain for one game, and second-youngest player on the team), and will play for France in the upcoming European championships next summer
Varsity Athlete - Varsity athlete in North America, D1 level. Loss in semi-finals in national championship 2x
President of my schools largest club & Head of Finance (think a sporting activity club) - Largest club at my school, increased membership by roughly 15% to 730 members and had cost-savings of over $30k
Accenture's Accent on the Community program - placed fourth/ten in a competition where we were assigned a not for profit firm and a mandate. Successfully accomplished the mandate.
Eagle Scout (Boy Scouts of America final rank; led a project involving over 400 man hours, 30 + volunteers, and ~$3000 USD fundraised to construct a Dog Park in my town.
Final notes
Thank you all for taking the time - if there are alternative ways given the opportunites/profile I have currently to obtain a goal of working for a strat consulting frim, please let me know. (e.g. staying at EY, trying to lateral in etc... ) or even doing an MBA? I figured a MiM would be cheaper and quicker, and then I can always do an MBA later down the road (and would probably get into a better one with the MiM backing me up).
Thank you so much in advance

Hi,
I am not an admission consultant, however, as per me you have a very impressive profile with diversity and achievements. If money is not a matter, I strongly suggest you to target top 10 MBA schools in the world. MiM and MBA are going to take an approximately equal amount of time but there will be huge difference in the cost involved. You have time to improve your GMAT score as well. Let's say you cross 750, that will be huge differentiator among other applicants. With high GMAT, you widen the doors of scholarship. I advise you to take some time, decide and consult MiM and MBA alumni's for the benefits and compare.

Hi lacrosseplayer05
You have a strong profile and should target top 5 MiM programmes. Make sure you put together a compelling and coherent application.
Good luck.
