Hi there, I was hoping you guys could have a quick glance at my profile to see whether I'm not being too unrealistic in my ambitions to apply to a top US MBA program (Harvard, Stanford, Columbia) this fall.
Background: 26-year old male, Swedish
Undergraduate: International Business from Warwick Business School (UK), graduated top of class with First Class Honours, majoring in Finance. This includes a 1-year exchange at ESSEC Business School in Paris, where I took all my classes in French. Graduated in 2008.
Languages Spoken: Swedish, German, English, French (all fluently), good knowledge of Spanish
Working for a Bulge Bracket US-investment bank in Fixed Income Sales since 2009
GMAT: Work-in-progress, targetting a score of around 700 in June, though it is hard to balance my job requirements with enough study time.
I'm looking to go into entrepreneurship or general management post-graduation. How important do you think is a good GMAT score for my profile - i.e., say that I won't be able to reach the 700 mark when I take the exam mid-June, would this have a significant impact if I ended up at around 680ish?
Many thanks!
Steve.

For the schools you listed <700 will significantly hurt your chances.

Hello Steve,
Admission to any b-school is actually a process and each component of the process has its due weight.
GMAT -- Less than 700 will make it big stretch for the top 5 US schools, and less than 700 will make it a stretch for you at the rest of the 5-10 schools as well, so 700 is actually a safe score for the schools you desire.
Your undergrads - Your undergrads in business admin with major in finance across regions will help you differentiate yourself, so you have an advantage here.
Your ECs - No idea about your ECs, so i can not comment on it, in your case ECs could be more important if you do not have formal leadership experience at work.
Even if you might be looking at entrepreneurship or general management, the rules will be the same.
Good luck
). From the view point of b-school class composition, you obviously have to face this competition, but there is nothing much to worry about - you have to anyhow justify that you are FIT for the school. and the best solution is to apply in round one, so you have decent chances to get in.
