Hi guys, I recently took the GMAT, I am delighted to tell you that I have totalized a score of 720 (Q51 V37 ir7 awaTBD)
I would like to attend a MSF in North America, from a worldclass business school. However my GPA is pretty low, it corresponds to an average value in my country but it certainly is way too low for american standards, it is 23/30 (italian grades).
What top schools should I consider? How realistic is the admission?
(I was also thinking about applying to Zicklin? Would they admit me?)
Here's my profile:
Background and nationality: Bachelor degree in Economics and Management from the Italian number 1 institution in the field. Visiting Student at UC Berkeley HAAS School of Business. Italian.
GMAT: 720 (Q51 V37 IR7)
Work experience and leadership:
Team Manager in a 3 month job in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Justice, CFO of the local SEDS, Financial Specialist at my University's Finance Club, Asset management analyst (since 1 month)
Community and others
Cofounder of a nonprofit organization, that connects students and stimulates their collaboration with projects and research
National Mathematical Olympiad contestant
Virtual Internship H2 Venture Capital
ECDL certificate of proficiency (Excel, PP, Word)
Post Master goals
To open a small Venture Capital fund
What worldclass business schools would really consider me, and realistically admit me?

Can you give us a little better feel for what a 23/30 in your Italian school translates to in US GPA? Also, why is it so below-par, as you put it?
Since you have a 720 on the GMAT, you are with hope. You will probably need to write strong essays and back them up with robust letters of recommendation speaking to your work ethic, academic potential, etc. to counterbalance your GPA. And yes, I think there are schools in the US that will accept you for an MSF. You may need to be a little flexible in terms of programs, locations, etc. but you can definitely put together a list that reflects your relative strengths and weaknesses.
Your career goal, FYI, probably needs some work. Opening up a VC firm is great, but it's a very popular path these days. You might want to introduce a short-term goal and some creativity around that long-term goal to help make you an interesting candidate.
Please drop us a line if you want to discuss further:
