You have a pretty attractive profile IMO. Do you think you could improve your Verbal score much further?

Hello 01dynamic, thanks for your question.

I do think your overall and your verbal GMAT scores could be potential obstacles, especially since you’re in a highly competitive applicant demographic. For such highly ranked schools, getting your overall score to 700+ and your verbal score as close to 80% as possible could move the needle.

One question: you seem to have solid work experience, so why do you need an MBA? In terms of your post-MBA goals, I encourage you to paint a picture that cohesively ties together your past, present, and future. Demonstrate to the admissions committees that your desired career path necessitates an MBA.

I hope this helps!

Best of luck,
Brian
