Hello.
Here are some facts about me. Mainly looking for recommendations on where to apply and whether to retake the gmat again. Goal is MIT or Tuck... that would be incredible. I can speak a lot more about myself than described below...
Demographic:
White, Male, right now 23. Will be 26-27 during application. Born in Russia, High School in England, College in USA. Bentley University. 3.50 GPA in Econ-Finance
College activities:
Rugby team (conference champs and national championship contenders, Treasurer)
Eco-Fi Society (discussing macro economic policy of the US mostly)
Investment Group (helping manage $250k of Bentley's endowment)
GMAT
As of today 710 Q48 V40. Retaking in 2 weeks. (had 760/750 in practice).
WE
Right now 2 year of full time WE. At the time of application will be 5 or 6 years.
I am employed at a F250 company (think big insurance/fin services). I am in a highly selective business analyst rotational program.
This is a 3 year program with 12 months rotations.
I started in Data Governance and Record Management. Essentially overseeing all of the data that my company produces and preparing executive dashboard on it + doing vendor management. I can make this a pretty work experience on paper.
Year 2 was in Robotic Process Automation group. Essentially replacing people with software. We have a lot of impressive stats. We have been instrumental in curbing expense growth at our division.
Year 3 is on the same team as Year 2 but in the emerging technologies group. At a very high level I am responsible for identifying companies that will allow my company to achieve higher straight through processing via AI/ML/Optical Character Recognition/Chat bots/anything else. I provide important recommendations to senior leadership on tech strategy. Constantly act as a point of contact with multiple CEO's of small - medium size Tech Companies.
Going forward I expect my role to be tightly aligned around strategic new tech initiatives for the whole division.
Extra curricular
Founded an employee resource group that mobilizes young professionals to be the next generation of leaders at my company (I am the Co-Chair and Founder). The group helps engage young employees to become better leaders via volunteering, education, and networking channels.
Internal Innovation Challenge Finalist (twice) + Winner (once + next final is next week so maybe twice). Done at work. Can talk more about results of my innovation pitches.
Boston Marathon finisher (raising almost 3k for charity).
Various work awards (basically for doing more than asked).
Doing pro-bono consulting for charities, mainly tech (for example salesforce integration for an NGO)
What schools can I target? I am looking to either apply to schools known for strong entrepreneurship/innovation labs or management consulting recruitment.
Appreciate advice and will respond to all of the PMs!

Hi there, and thanks for writing! It sounds like you're building a strong profile, with solid academics, progressive work experience at a top company, and meaningful extracurriculars. If you're able to boost the GMAT a bit (730+ ideally), stay on an upward trajectory at work, and execute a strong application in which you explain the motivation behind your post-MBA career goals and make a strong case for why the program is a strong fit for you based on your goals and the program's culture, then I think that you can aim for the U.S. Top 20 programs (as well as top programs in Europe such as INSEAD or LBS if you're open to those as well). Hope that helps a bit!

Thanks, and do you have an opinion regarding the comments I received that my Quant percentile was too low?
