Hi,
I am a 26 year old Captain in the Israeli Airforce.
gmat - 680 (q48,v35)
Toefl-117
GPA in Economics, Aeronautics and management - 90.8. (top Uni in Israel but obviously not widely known in the world)
3 years as a pilot cadet flying fighter jets and getting my BA.
2 years F-16 A/B pilot in a squadron - in charge of weapon system and intelligence education.
3 years in HQ in a special weapon department in charge of R&D project management, operations and experiments.
planning to move to the financial sector - ideally start at Investment banks and move on to Hedge funds.
I am aiming high - HBS, CBS,Sloan,Wharton, Insead, LBS.
is my gmat score too weak for those schools or I have a realistic probability of getting accepted?

Hi,
Thanks for your post. I would encourage you to try the GMAT again, especially if you have only taken it once! Scores are so competitive at the schools you've mentioned; you wouldn't want THAT to be the one thing that holds you back. And it's quite common to take the GMAT multiple times these days. Other than that, really aim to show the leadership and teamwork skills you've developed in the military, as well as your analytical thinking, and aim to show that you know WHY you need and want the MBA and how your post-MBA career might develop.
We have some helpful career primers, on Investment Banking and Hedge Funds for example, that are free to download here if helpful:
