Hi,
I just turned 28 and am considering to apply to business school this year.
I am German, have an undergrad in BA at a German university and a MSc in Finance from London School of Economics.
I have co-founded and sold 3 companies during my undergrad (import export, manufacturing and private equity), one for $xxm (no tech, high leverage and I was one of 3 founders so no superstar).
I started working at McKinsey last year and would get BS funding.
I fought for years inch by inch for what I achieved so far and it was not easy for me. My high school grades are at 50%th percentile, Undergrad top 10%, Master I received a Merit (Distinction being best).
I have studied for the GMAT before two years ago for several months and have taken it twice back then at 630 and 640 (once weak quant once weak verbal). I now have little time to study and although I became better at English (2 years in London now), I am not sure I can achieve the necessary score (many in my office went to my target schools and the average GMAT seems to be around 750-760 - I was told to get at least 720)
Applying would mean a lot of effort for me since I have very little time to study. I can use 3 weeks of holiday mainly for the GMAT. Putting the test aside, where would you put my chances to get into HBS, Stanford, INSEAD? I would not apply to other Business Schools.
Thanks for your help and advice

Thanks for sharing your profile. Really nice background that many of the schools listed will be interested in but your GMAT is way too low right now. You have to make it at least comparable to the avg score at your schools to have a chance. This is the most important aspect for you. Others with similar backgrounds will certainly have the scores which will make it tough for you if you can't
