Re: Please Help Set Reasonable Target [#permalink]
faro thanks for the info!

I guess what I am really trying to say is which schools do I have a chance to get into?
Of course for even the best candidates Top 5 is a chance at best, but do I even have a chance there?
Is 5-10 also a reach?
Is 10-20 something that is likely possible?

Thanks in advance again!

faro gives some really good advice here. I think Kellogg should be a target, it's probably one of the top prestige/consulting/admission combinations for you. Everything you've reported sounds great, so it'll come down to execution. Good luck!

I prefer to check on BW who recruits...

One of the big things you should be interested in if you have a clear goal is the recruiters.

Check the BW ranking, they offer great info.

If consulting is your suit and abraod is something you'd feel go with Insead

Quote:
McKinsey & Company 127
The Boston Consulting Group 60
Bain & Company 48
Booz & Company 40
Roland Berger Strategy Consultants 15
A.T. Kearney 14
Google 13
Johnson & Johnson 10
L.E.K. Consulting 9
Standard Chartered Bank 9
Accenture 8


Good luck on your search. Your profile seems strong enough to get in with the right essays.

Be sure to be able to adress weaknesses in a proper manner. Saying "don't have any gaps" is not something you should prepare for the interview.

Re: Please Help Set Reasonable Target [#permalink]
Thanks! I decided to go and apply only to US Schools, due to preffering the 2 year experience, as well as younger overall class then the European schools (leading to a better fit).

Planning on visiting a bunch and eliminating them from there.
Basically picked Top 20 +1 or 2 outliers to start with and then narrowing them down to a list of 6-10.

So far I eliminated USC, Stanford, and probably Harvard and/or Wharton.
Still have a long list to further narrow it down.

Re: Please Help Set Reasonable Target [#permalink]
You have an impressive profile, something you can really turn into a successful admit at top 10.

- For recommenders, schools prefer that you get one of your recommendations from current supervisor at work
- Advice choosing a recommender that you’ve most recently engaged with. For example, getting a recommendation from someone you collaborated/worked with 5 years ago might not have much impact.
- 710 is a good enough score to get you into top 10. Put your efforts into your essays that’s the MOST important part of your application.
- Kellogg should definitely be one of the schools you should target considering your goals.

Let me know how else I can help.
