Profile Evaluation for MS Business Analytics 2023
Demographic:
29 year-old male; Peruvian citizen; Economist
Education:
Licenciate in Economics (5-years course) from a top university in Peru (top 1-3), GPA : 14/20, ~3.46/4 in the US scale. My thesis was awarded and received funding as prize.
Master in Economics (1-year course) from a top university in Argentina (top 1-2), GPA is not high (6,7/10, ~3.04/4 in the US scale).
Participated in a national competition (research contest) in Peru doing a paper that measure efficiency of regional governments (2nd place winner).
GMAT/GRE:
I haven't taken GMAT, but my GRE quant score is 167 and 152 verbal score
WORKING EXPERIENCE:
~5 Years until now
2 years as a research assistant in a top think tank in economic research in Peru. Did a paper with my boss and other coauthors.
1 year as a research analyst in another think tank (more in the business side, funded by some private companies).
1 year for the peruvian government (working with data on consumer protection regulation)
~1 year in a multilateral organization in D.C. - US as a research consultant (an international development bank) (this is my current job)
I'd like to switch from research on economics and public policy jobs to business analytics jobs. I have some analytics skills (data handling and use of some softwares), but would like to apply it to solve other kind of problems. Also, I consider that I have more space to grow professionally in the private sector and gain other important skills.
LETTER OF RECOMMENDATIONS:
I have worked with PhDs in economics and I can have their recommendations. One of them is now Data Scientist in Uber.
I would be grateful if you could let me know my chances of getting into top Schools (in the US). I have been considering some of the followings:
MIT Sloan, UCLA, UT Austin, USC, Texas A&M, Maryland, Miami U., SMU, Georgia Tech, Georgia State.
Thank you!

Thanks for reaching out! You have a very interesting profile.
MIT Sloan, UCLA, UT Austin, USC, Texas A&M, Maryland, Miami U., SMU, Georgia Tech, Georgia State.
This is a good list for the most part. MIT Sloan, UCLA and UT Austin are probably going to be tough, but not impossible. Your GRE Verbal of 152 is a slight concern. While the focus will on your Quant score (which is fantastic), the low Verbal may make it tough to secure admission from the top programs. The others on your list feel much more attainble. If you can ace the GMAT (which might be easier for you in terms of Verbal) then that can give you a better shot at the top three on your list.
The most important remaining piece is going to be your essays. You must come up with a strong narrative on your pre-masters background, why the MSBA, and what you plan to achieve post-MSBA. Pulling in everything in a clear, cohesive, and convincing manner is no easy feat.
Fortunately, we can help in this regard. Please sign up for a free consultation using the link below if you would like to talk with someone on our team who specializes in US-based MSBA programs!
