Hey there,
Well everything looks good so far!
Have you got good Volunteer work and extra curriculars? If not, now would be a good time to get some stuff started.

Otherwise, brand management is perfect,
Best,
Jon

Thank you very much!
The biggest concerns are:
No name university (in Russia it is pretty solid, but for US BS, I think, It will be no name)
As you mentioned - no extracurriculars.
Age - isn't 24 years a bit young?

Thank you very much

Hello there,
So regarding university, you are right that yes it can be a bit of a problem. The schools will like know the top 1-3 universities in Russia, but maybe not the top 10. So it will be up to you to inform them about how good it is.
Regarding ECs, it's an issue, but since you have two years to improve that, I trust that when you apply it will no longer be one, right? :)

Finally, 24 with 4 years experience is just perfect for an MBA. So if you are ready to go, it will work for the schools too!
Best,
Jon
