Hello,
I am a Brazilian male, 26 years old.
Undergraduate: Economics at top 1 university in Brazil (University of São Paulo).
GMAT: 730 (GMAT Prep tests)
Fluent in Portuguese and English, Intermediate Spanish.
Work Experience: Controller at family business (2.5 years total experience):
My father has a 8000+ acre farm in Brazil that produces corn, soybean, sugar cane, beef cattle.
Our annual net revenue is 10 million BRL.
- While still in college, I implemented the farm´s financial planning process from scratch (budget, financial reports, etc)
- Managed an investment project of a 3 million BRL (1 million USD) grain elevator, among other investments.
- Today I manage a team of 3 accounting assistants.
Short term goal: MBB Consulting.
Long term goal: Expand our activities into grain trading and other things in agribusiness.
Other activities and volunteer experiences:
Jiu Jitsu (martial art) semi professional athlete, with many important medals. I train since I was 15 years old.
I have been involved in several social programs that teach Jiu Jitsu for free to low income kids and teenagers in Brazil.
2 years ago, I co-founded a volunteer program that teaches JJ and stimulates kids to compete and stay away from drugs and the main problems of Brazilian poor neighborhoods. We provide uniforms and sponsorships to those who want to compete.
I would like to know my chances of getting admitted at:
Sloan, Haas, Kellogg, Yale, Duke, UCLA, Emory, Marshall (USC).
I would also like to know what are the strong and weak points of my profile.
Thank you.

Hey dude!
Great to hear from you!
So first of all I really like your profile: You have an awesome background, a fantastic GMAT, come from a strong family business and even have some sports in the mix!
I would love of course to understand more about you and about your family business and your goals.
But overall, I think your profile is great, and I rarely say this: but maybe your school list is not ambitious enough
I think it's good that you have two safe schools on your list, but I think you can also reasonable apply to Top 5 schools and have a good shot if you are able to make a stellar application.I hope this news will please you

Hey Jon,
Thank you for your reply.
I just realized I forgot to mention my GPA, and that is a problem. My GPA is 6.6/10, which is a little bit below average at my university (Avg GPA is around 7/10).
Do you think that is gonna hurt too much my application or a good GMAT can turn it into a minor issue??
