Hi,
I just received my GMAT score for my second attempt. I would like to request a profile evaluation request.
Nationality - Foreign National
GMAT - 1st Attempt 640 (Math 49 Verbal 29) Writing 4 IR 5
2nd Attempt 750 (Math 50 Verbal 40) Writing 4 IR 5
Undergrad - One of big 10 State univ. (Finance)
GPA - 3.7
Work - Mid Tier Finance/IT Consulting Firm (Consultant) in US for 4 years with project lead experiences.
I wanted to apply to Harvard, Kellogg, Wharton and Booth. I am worried about low writing and IR scores. Please provide feedback on possibilities of getting admission to these schools.
Thank you in advance!!

On the surface it looks like you have a decent chance at those schools. While the writing and IR scores will make it more challenging, I would still advise applying to those programs especially if you add one or two other programs that are not quite as competitive just as a backup.
How have you performed at your job vs. competition? Your raises and promotion path/speed will make a difference in apps as well as your extra-curricular activities.
Also, feel free to send me an email to [email protected] or a PM, but what company do you work at?

Okay dude,
So your GMAT is totally awesome, your grades are great! So you are set on your way for Top 10. Now whether it's HBS or another Top 10 will depend on things that I don't know about - like the DETAIL of your work experience - your achievements, promotions, leadership, initiatives, a well as the other things like extra curricular activities, volunteer work, sports, community service, and so on.
