Hi there,
Thanks for your post. Good luck on your GMAT as that is likely an important factor for you! It doesn't tend to get you "in" per se but you do not want it to hold you back, and scores from similar-profile candidates tend to be quite high. I hope you have been prepping and that practice test scores are promising!
Your academics and quant skills overall sound strong, and it's great to hear of your promotions and recognitions. It doesn't sound like you have much in terms of community-focused leadership and involvement, though the football club is worth noting. I am not sure how much leadership you have across the board without a deeper CV review. And I am also unsure if you have international experience which the top European schools would appreciate. Overall your school list is quite competitive, fyi... Columbia & Booth in particular (and note that Columbia fills up a lot early in the season, given it's ED and rolling process features). For a better comprehensive
profile review, why don't you submit a CV to us for a free consultation, and also keep us posted on your test score. As for what to focus on for your essays, what we do with clients is thorough brainstorming to identify your interesting stories, personal and professional, and go from there. You also have to adjust topics from school to school based upon their essay prompts of course. Happy to discuss further at any point if helpful, and good luck to you!
