Male, Slovak republic native, 25
Education:
BSc in Mathematics from Charles University in Czech republic – I have low (around 3) GPA for two reasons 1) different (much more strict) grading system (1-3, 4=fail, 1=best) where average of all students was usually around 2.5
2) I had to leave home and my family stopped providing me any support so I had to work while studying 2 programs in parallel
GMAT: 710 (Q: 49, V: 37); TOEFL iBT: 113
Experience:
5 years across management consulting, retail focused and analytics firms, both big, well known players and start-ups across geographies, partly managing teams of 2-7 people. I started with more technical roles, shifting towards project management.
I was Consultant at Mennheim Associates (MC company based in Dubai, founded by ex-BCG principals serving Saudi Royal Family and HNWI across GCC), VP Strategy at Futurelytics (Czech start-up, Online customer analytics platform for e-commerce), Senior Consultant at Deloitte Consulting (based in Prague, Forensics and Analytics team, projects across Europe), Insight Analyst at Dunnhumby (Customer analytics company enabling commercial excellence using big data), Business Analyst at Roland Berger Strategy Consultants (part-time) and Sales Analyst at L’Oreal (part-time).
Extra-Curriculars:
Team leader in university club where I organized lectures and events with influential CE economists and politicians, attended by thousands of students and professors. Led team of 12 people, steering marketing activities and managing club finances.
Journalist and Photographer for UK Media, university magazine (3000+ readers) -interviewed and photographed university employees and events, acquired sponsors
Pro-bono:
Project with AIESEC in small village in Turkey where I helped families in need to educate their children (English) and taught them some sports as well (I was swimming and volleyball coach)
As a Marketing Strategy & Finance director for the 1st Slovak street festival w. 3k+ visitors & int’l line-up I designed website and merchandise, and negotiated financing.
Established traveleatshare – community (website and social networks) to share travelogues, recipes, photos and videos
Post-MBA goals: MC or PE/VC firms, network to support establishment of my own firm
Targeting schools: INSEAD, Cambridge, IE, Stanford, Sloan; Applying in R1-2 2015/16
I would appreciate if you could evaluate my chances, suggest potential improvements (e.g. pushing up GMAT, more experience etc.) and recommend any other schools that might be a good fit considering my goals.

Thanks for sharing your profile. Very interesting background with some strong work experience with a nice alignment with your career goals. Your low GPA will hamper you at the elite schools on your list. Your GMAT is in range but still slightly below the mean at many of your target school. I would consider opening up some of your US options a bit with Kellogg, Booth, Berkeley, and Wharton potentially. If you think you can drive your GMAT a bit higher to counter your GPA that would probably help but not an absolute necessity if you think it will require a heavy investment in time. The european schools listed you should be in range for.
Hope this helps!
