Hi,
Would you please help to evaluate if my target schools fit?
Nationality: Chinese
Age: 28
Education: Bachelor in a Top 5 university in China, major Computer Science
GPA: 3.0
GMAT: 770
TOEFL: 97 (plan to have a 2nd try in Nov)
Working Exp: 6+ years by now
Current Position: IT Development Manager in a leading multinational bank
Post-MBA: short-term strategy consulting. long term COO/CIO
International Exposure: half year in Hong Kong, daily work with people from Malaysia, India, Hong Kong, Korean (will this be regarded as international exposure?)
Target Schools: Wharton, Sloan, Tuck, Ross, Duke, Cornell
My questions are
1) shall I apply in R1 using my current TOEFL score, or wait for my 2nd try TOEFL and apply in R2? Will the low TOEFL score be a great concern to adcoms?
2) Beside the schools listed, any safety schools I should consider?
Many thanks to your advice in advance.
