Hi,
I'm a First-Gen 24Y South Asian immigrant (US Citizen). I have 2 years Work experience and will have 3 years of experience at matriculation at a household name retail company where I do Merchandise Planning (think Financial Planning/Forecasting).
I graduated from a T50 US school with a 3.32 GPA in Mathematics & Economics. I scored a 730 (Q47/V44) on the GMAT last week.
I also have entrepreneurship experience (2 yrs where I founded a small tutoring company where I lead a team of 5-6, revenue $50K+ and have 30+ annual clients). Our mission is to help disadvantaged immigrants in the US with affordable tutoring & mentorship and do some Pro-Bono volunteer tutoring as well.
I am looking to apply in R2 to M7;Haas + NYU. Many have said that I am too young to apply but I really want to get in ASAP. People with my profile at my company (with my current title - [I was promoted early on merit] have landed M7 though with 1-1.5 more years of experience). It leads me to believe that M7 is realistic for me but what can I do to overcome my GPA & Age. Should I Apply in R2 and reapply R1 next year or just apply in R1 next year.
My goal is to enter the Tech industry ideally as a PM and learn about managing Tech products and using that to start my own Ed-Tech company where I combine my passion for Education to create affordable customized Educational Technology products.
Please feel free to be as kind or stern as needed. I am aiming to retake the GMAT and score a 750/760 before R2 this year. Do you think this will help overcome my GPA or is it not enough to offset my age/profile.
Thank you!

Thank you for reaching out! Responding to your 2 questions:
Q: ...but what can I do to overcome my GPA & Age. Should I Apply in R2 and reapply R1 next year or just apply in R1 next year.
A: The way to overcome age is to wait! Do not apply R2 this year and reapply for R1 next year if you can avoid it. You are better off waiting until R1 of next year. Focus on doing well at work and building out your extracurricular activities as you wait for the right time.
Q: Do you think this will help overcome my GPA or is it not enough to offset my age/profile.
It can definitely help. A GPA of 3.32 is going to be a red flag on your profile. It's not insurmountable but for the M7 + UCB Haas + NYU Stern, you can't have too many "low grades" for any one component. A 750+ on the GMAT will help counter that GPA but it won't entirely erase it. You might have to be slightly flexible about schools outside of these 9 if you really want to get an MBA ASAP at a relatively top program.

Thank you for the feedback. I think I will try to get my GMAT to 760+. If I can't do it, I will forego R2 and apply in R1 next year.
Much appreciated!
