Re: Please evaluate, Russian student, >700 [#permalink]
Hey guys, so I got 750 (Q49, V42, IR8), unfortunately I failed in Verbal for some reason, though I considered it to be stronger than my quant. Anyways, does this change anything?
I started my process with Kellogg, Booth, Stanford and Wharton, later I will start Berkeley and Duke and then Tuck. What do you think?

Hi - Congrats on your score. 750 is great. I don't think there is any fundamental difference in your app - in the sense that you could just as well have got a 730 and been perfectly fine. I think a lot of the time Russian students are at a disadvantage if they don't work for a large firm (but you do so that shouldn't be an issue for you). As far as scholarships at top schools I wouldn't count on getting any money. If you're lucky you might get 20% or something like that but it's almost impossible for an international student to get a full scholarship at top schools.

Thanks Leah, what about the school choices, are they reasonable or I should cut to less schools?

Without seeing your CV - it is hard to say
Here are some of the areas which you may not be super strong in....they need to be looked at within the wider picture of your app.
I guess you have 7 years of work experience now - 8 by Sept. 2016 - is that correct? If so you're 'old' for an MBA.
Not a top school but a good school. Not top grades but good grades (unfortunately they will look at cumulative GPA).
No community service/extracurriculars

Strong Points
Good work experience
Top GMAT

Off the cuff I'd say
Kellogg = Probably not, Booth = Probably not, Stanford = No and Wharton = Probably not, later I will start Berkeley = pretty hard to get into but you could apply and Duke = Yes apply and then Tuck = yes apply. What do you think?

Again hard to 'evaluate' someone's situation without seeing a resume so take it with a grain of salt. Good luck with your apps!
