Curious why Europe over the US? U Miami is a well known school in the states. You have a lot of internship and experience, at big name places (HIG is very well known, RJ, MS, etc). You have a great GPA and a 700 GMAT is pretty good. You'd definitely get into Vanderbilt, WUSTL, most likely USC. Probably in at UT Austin as well. I would imagine you would get some scholarship money as well.
European programs, I can see you getting into Imperial, LSE (on of their various MSc programs), etc.
I really would like to spend a year in Europe to experience something new. I am targeting LSE, LBS, Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, and possibly Warwick.
At the end of the day I will go to the school with the best network and reputation.
What is ur take on the European schools based on my profile? I am still a junior and have only just began researching, and will have some time to boost my profile even more.
Thank you for the previous response!
