Profile Evaluation: 27 y/o Asian female|Big 4 M&A|700GMAT

Hi I'm a 27 year old Southeast Asian female planning on applying during the R2 window next year.

Profile
- Born and bred in Singapore (Chinese ethnicity)
- 4 years M&A experience (valuations/corporate finance/business restructuring) in Big 4 (think Deloitte, PwC, etc)
- Ranked as High Performer in recent performance review
- 4.05/5 undergrad GPA Accounting and Business Law Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (#12 globally)
- 700 GMAT Q47 V38 IR4 AWA6 (first attempt)
- Central bank scholarship holder (70% of fees), req to work in the finance sector in Singapore post-MBA
- References from Big 4 Corporate Finance Partner and Previous Big 4 Senior Manager
- Volunteering at YMCA (Vietnam, Myanmar trip), high school math tutoring part-time for 5 years
- No international work experience, but an avid solo traveller and couchsurfing host (hosting travellers/strangers at my place)

Target schools: Wharton, Booth, NYU Stern, Columbia, Yale, UC Berkeley
Backup: Tuck, Cornell, UCLA

-What would be things above I should highlight in my application (that would excite the adcoms)?
-What are my chances at my target schools?
-Will being a Southeast Asian female help/hurt my chances?
-What would be a target GMAT score based on my profile?

Hi there -
Thanks for reaching out for a free evaluation. In lieu of writing a lengthy reply, I'd rather we connect via Skype/phone so we may have a real dialogue and you can ask me questions as I give you an assessment. Additionally, I will be able to offer you a much more robust assessment if I am able to ask you more questions. If doing a free consult via skype/phone interests you, please fill out our FREE CONSULT form https://squareoneprep.com/free-consultation/. 

I look forward to hearing from and speaking with you soon. Thanks again for reaching out.
