Hi
I have a couple of questions regarding applying for a 2012 MBA, and wondered if you could shed some light
Undergrad : Top UK (russell group). 2.1 (3.6gpa equivalent) BSc Economics (international). This included a 1 year scholarship to study on the Erasmus exchange program in a prestigious university in Sweden. Furthermore i won a place on a British council program for top students to study in one of china's largest universities for semester.
Work Experience: By matriculation i will have 2 years of experience (and be 25 years of age), at a top 4 British International bank, in a rotational program, which has included rotations in Private Equity and Investment banking as well as corporate banking (with international stints in KL and Shanghai).
While at university i bought and ran two small pizza restaurants with two friends. We sold these on subsequently two years later, at a substantial profit which enabled me to pay completely for my university education.
GMAT : 710.
Extra curricular - I co-founded a charity, The international literacy foundation, which builds and renovates libraries in schools and orphanages around the world. we have completed projects in places such as Kenya and Pakistan with pipeline projects in China, Peru, Egypt and Zambia for the upcoming year. I also am a member of the banks football team, and am on the alumni advisers board for my universities business school advising students on applications and academic/
I am a dual British/ Libyan citizen (lived in England since a very young age) and wish to do my MBA sooner than later in order to hopefully accelerate my career with a view to going back to Libya one day in the near future (say 6-7 years time) and helping the country get back on its feet after the current crises.
Do you think it would be any sort of advantage to apply as a Libyan citizen over applying as a British citizen? and would you recommend mentioning my motivation for an MBA, or going down more of a generic route of saying i want to go down the PE/VC role, which is my medium term goal after the MBA.
The schools i am thinking of are H/S/W CBS, Oxford and Cambridge. obviously HBS is my first choice.
I would be very interested to hear your thoughts.
Regards,
MT11

As far as nationality goes, I don't think either one will hurt or benefit you.
In terms of your schools, I think you have a shot at the top schools. You have an interesting enough of a profile, so that as long as you position yourself correctly on the application, you should find yourself at a pretty good spot. Keep in mind that all of the schools on your list are extremely competitive, but if you have the 'all-in or bust' type of attitude (which is completely fine), go for it. If you're willing to go down in the rankings for just a tad bit, you may be find some schools that could be easier to get in. Either way, at your current list, I think you have a shot. If you're gunning for Harvard or Stanford, apply sooner than later, as both schools tend to enjoy admitting students who excel academically and are younger (relative to their peer schools).

Bakfed,
Thank you for your prompt reply, appreciated.
I do have an all or busy attitude, you are correct. To be honest i am aiming mostly for the H/S/W's on my list specifically Harvard, and am prepared to reapply till i get in, obviously within reason since H/S want younger applicants.
Is my story compelling enough so that they would at least invite me to interview?
Is my GMAT at an acceptable level, or would getting it up to 750 give me a significant edge?
My experience is not at a bulge bracket, however i have been working in PE and will be in IB before this programme finishes. It is a top 4 british bank however, mainly located in emerging markets, which is my main area of interest going forward.
