Hi Team,
I Would love to have your thoughts on my profile.
Age: 28
Demographic: Male from Chile
GMAT: 730 (Q49, V41, IR 8)
Education: Bachelor in Business Administration at Chile’s top business school (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile).
GPA: 4.9 on a scale of 1.0 to 7.0 (a B+ according to official conversion guidelines from my university - but I don’t know if these guidelines would be respected elsewhere).
Graduation rank: 216 out of 323.
Work Experience: 4 years and 2 months of experience in Management & Strategy Consulting at Integration Consulting. I have been promoted 4 times - faster then peers. I’ve worked on over 15 impactful and diverse projects in Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, Guatemala and Ecuador. I currently hold a leadership role in my office (southern cone: Chile + Argentina) as a Co-manager, which means that I am co-responsible for team allocation, P&L, office and team management, among others.
Extra curriculars: Ive been volunteering regularly since college, mainly in education (as a volunteer teacher of mathematics, English and entrepreneurship), in social causes (housing construction and community services) and more recently been advising foundations on sales and planning strategy (mainly human rights and transgender rights organizations in Chile). Also very active as a teaching assistant of over 6 courses in university, and participated in 2 investigations as a research assistant.
Post MBA goal:
Medium term - to return to Consulting at my firm to lead its growth from a small / boutique firm in Chile to becoming a strong local player.
Short term - To lead, as a managing partner, the expansion of my consulting firm into new markets, such as Peru and Colombia.
Schools: My dream schools are MIT, Harvard and Stanford. I’m very open to considering Wharton, Berkeley, Columbia, LBS, Chicago, Insead and simulará as well.
Thank you

StratusDonna thank you very much for your input and professional opinion. I will schedule a free consult for sure.
I would like to ask your opinion specifically on one subject though. My GPA is a 4.9 on a scale of 1.0 to 7.0 (Chilean standard grading system). I am finding it difficult to convert that grade into the American system, but from what I've been researching, it is around a 2.6 - 3.3. My university's guidelines indicate that the appropriate conversion for that grade would be to a B+ (3.3), but I don't know whether the universities that I apply to will see it the same way.
My questions are:
- Do you have an estimation of what my GPA is in "American terms"?
- Do you think that the other aspects of my application could compensate for this lower GPA?
As mentioned before, I graduated 216 out of 323.
Thank you very much in advance, I really appreciate it.
