Thanks very much for your help! Would like to figure out what my possibilities are for US Business school including some burning questions:
Demographics: 26-year-old East Asian guy growing up in Pan Western Europe country (Germany/Netherlands/France) from 8 years old, with European passport. --> Question: Would I be put into the Asian pool of applicants or Western European pool of applicants for Business schools? How would this impact my success rate?
Undergrad: Top 3 University in Country, Top 1 Uni for Economics (7,2 in Quant Finance/Statistics)
Master: Same University, (7,0 in Quant Finance)
Part of community for diversity and inclusion in university
Experience: 1,5 years at Big 4 valuations, 1 year Accenture MC (Planning to apply to business school after having 2 years experience here), so 3,5 years experience in total.
No extracurricular activity --> Question: How big of a deal is this? Would it be very beneficial to start with some volunteering work now?
GMAT:720
What would my chances at the following schools?
1. Yale
2. Harvard
3. Wharton
4. Cornell
5. Columbia
Would I have more chance for European Business schools? (e.g INSEAD, LBS)?
Many thanks for your time,

Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your background with us. Given that you led with being "East-Asian", I assume that's how you identify yourself, so all signs point to you being evaluated as such
You've got strong work experience, a solid GMAT, and strong undergraduate performance. The lack of EC/involvement will affect your ability to stand out. Also, EC/involvement is used to demonstrate your interest/passion in a given field, so we'll need to be sure we tell a compelling story about why you want an MBA and what you hope to achieve. What are your goals by the way? This helps us determine fit for different programs. Also, where do you want to end up (geographically)? This will help us delineate between EU and US schools.
We'd love to dig into your background, so if you'd like to chat, feel free to sign up for a free consultation below. Best of luck!
