Hi,
Thank you in advance for evaluating my profile.
Background: LLB from Queen Mary and an LLM in International Business and Economic Law from Georgetown University.
Age: 23 (24 when I apply)
GMAT- I'm currently pre-GMAT but I believe that I can achieve a minimum of 700.
GPA Grad: 3.33
GPA Undergrad 3.6
School Grades: 6 A* 3A (GCSE), 2 A* 1A (A level)
Ethnicity: Persian
Work Experience: About 6 months full time whilst obtaining an MSC/LPC .
All of my work experience has been legal up to this point, however, these internships have been in 4 different countries (U.A.E, India, U.K and USA). In the US, I worked for an international anti-bribery compliance organisation, whilst in London I worked for an international shipping law firm and an international full service commercial law firm. In Dubai, my internships have been at two of the Magic Circle Law Firms and in India I have worked for two consecutive summers at a commercial law firm.
My Post-MBA goal is to leverage the fact that not many lawyers are MBA qualified and work in-house at a corporation as the current trend in the legal market is moving towards business partnering and lawyers supporting the business.
Extra Curricular
At undergraduate level, my responsibilities increased with each passing year. I started off as an Editor of the University legal paper, was promoted to member development manager (one of the events that I organised with my team was a speed event with 40 attendees and several international law firms. This culminated in my election as Executive Secretary of the Pro Bono Group.
I have also represented my community at Interfaith events at the House of Lords and the House of Commons as well as being part of a body that represents Zoroastrian youth across the UK.
I have organised food drives in India in conjunction with local charities as well as other welfare projects.
Studied abroad in UK, India, USA and UAE
Misc:
Speak 3 Languages
Practicing Zoroastrian Priest
I know my age and lack of work experience are likely to hinder me, but I feel that I can contribute to the program. I also know its hard for my profile to be evaluated given my lack of a GMAT score, but would top-20 schools be interested provided that I can ace the GMAT? In order to get into a top-20 Business School, what should be my target score? I'm looking at applying mainly to the USA, as I'm unlikely to meet the minimum work experience requirements. Furthermore, are there any realistic schools that I should consider or that you can recommend? I'm planning on applying in Round 1/2 next year.
I look forward to your help and guidance
Thanks again,
Shahyan

Hi there,
Many of the top-20 programs will be a stretch given your profile information. While a killer GMAT (720+) will boost your chances, another hurdle for you at this stage is your lack of work experience. Top tier programs seek at least 2-4 years work experience, and the younger candidates really have a way of differentiating themselves, something I'm having a tough time identifying in your profile. Why do you feel you need to go now? Why not take the GMAT and then focus on building your career for a couple years - get a promotion under your belt to demonstrate your leadership and then reevaluate your position. Your goal is still too generic - any further details you can share? This is all crucial for your story. Looking forward to hearing back.

Thank you for the reply!
I have two main reasons why I feel that now is the appropriate time to go to business school:
1) I believe a business school education would effectively 'round me out' as a lawyer, as in the legal market we're now expected to be trusted business advisors in addition to being great lawyers. For example, I feel that learning about leadership, marketing, operations and finance are all crucial as being a lawyer requires a combination of that knowledge and those skills. Whilst, working would allow me to pick elements of these skills, I believe business school would reduce that time significantly.
2) It would accelerate my career by enabling me to move into legal management quicker than my peers, as well as effectively transition from private practice into working for a large corporation in house. I also am particularly keen on learning about entrepreneurship and how I can apply that to the legal profession.
I understand that it might be difficult to differentiate me from other candidates, but whilst I haven't held any full time positions within the legal profession, I am committed to it, through several of my internships that have occurred across 3 continents. Furthermore, as a Zoroastrian priest, I'm particularly focussed on ethical businesses, and social work.
Would that help craft my story? I look forward to hearing back!
