I appreciate the kind words, and thank you for reaching out to us.
Strengths: GMAT score, appropriate age range, sounds like you have some good non-work achievements though I'd like to know more about their scale and scope. Technical aptitude is evident as well from your banking experience and CFA Level I.
Weaknesses: Your GPA is a concern. Is there a reason it is closer to 3.0 than a 4.0? This matters for the M7 schools. Venture capital is a popular career choice, though you do have some credibility coming from a startup and banking - that would need to be fleshed out in your essays.
Missing: Where did you go to school (I know you can't disclose, but that also plays a role.) What was your major? What did you accomplish at work? Those types of roles have potential, but what matters so much more is what you achieved in those positions. Who is writing your letters of recommendations and how well do they know you?
When you say you are drafting your applications, does that mean you are applying to Round 2 of this year? That actually plays a huge influence in my recommendations for improving your profile.
If you are actively applying this year and need our help, please reach out for a free consultation. We can pair you with an expert consultant such as me who can walk you through your profile, application strategy and help develop materials for you.
