Hi Jon,
It would be great if you could find some time to evaluate my profile. I have tried to keep the sentences short, just understandable.

Extra-curricular:

Career goal:
Want to work in the strategy/consulting field. (And of course non profit consulting and NGO, but that will mix up things so not yet decided which one I will write in essays)
Do you think my profile is competitive for any of the top 10 US Schools or LBS? Which would you recommend?
Thank You!
