Many thanks in advance form your response
Hey man,
So your profile is very nice. Peruvian guy with work in Mexico! Educated at LSE!! Not so common! and US schools really do make an effort to recruit strong LA candidates such as yourself.
Are you good enough for H/S/W/Sloan/etc?
Hard to say:
I don't know what you have actually done at work. I don't know your achievements, or how quickly you have advanced
- I don't know what your volunteer work looks like
- I don't know anything about you personally
- I don't know was ECs you have.
Two weaknesses which I see however:
- GMAT 700 - It may be okay for an LA candidate, but really a 700 is not enough anymore, unless you are stellar candidate.
- Work experience - You only worked 2 years by the time you are 26? Im missing four or five years here. Or I missed something....
So basically, what Im saying, is that you have some great stuff in your profile, but I don't have enough info to really evaluate you.
