Hi there,
You have great undergrad GPA and a decent GMAT (would need 730 for MIT though), and some of the unknowns are where you went for undergrad, quality of your recommendation letters and essays. However, one thing you do need more of for a fact is work experience. You only started working in August, so your work experience is on the light side compared to those who apply to these schools. My recommendation is to have at least 2-3 years of work experience because these schools typically look for people with some experience. Also think about what you would like to gain out of these programs as being able to write compelling essays about why you want to attend those schools will be crucial. Hope this helps and good luck!

Hello,
Thank you for the reply.
My undergrad is Maastricht University, which is somewhat known in Western Europe.
Regarding my recommendations I will get three, one from the director of the company I work at and two from professors at my uni.
The essays I reckon that I can write well since they ask for experiences related to Business Analytics and my job is essentially doing Business Analytics. Thus, I have plenty of material.
Is it also the case for Master programmes to have 2/3 years of work experience? On the class profile pages the numbers written are 2 years, 15 months and 6 months for UCLA, MIT and Duke, respectively.
Let me know, thanks!
Best,
Ev
