Hi everyone,

If you have some time, would be helpful getting some feedback on/evaluation of my profile:

GMAT Score: 720 (Q48|V41|IR7|AWA5)
GPA: 3.6 double major (3.7 BS in Econ, 3.8 BA in Psych) from T30 school, upward trend (3.4 first two years while playing NCAA collegiate sport, 3.8 last two years while no longer playing sport but interning at high-profile sports agency for 30 hours/week)
Post-Grad Work Experience:
1a. 1 year data analytics and scouting in baseball operations department of a major league baseball team
1b. 2 years investment banking at small boutique
1c. 4.5 years at large private equity fund of funds - promoted to VP
1d. Took the last year off to deal with sports injury that required multiple surgeries/depression from chronic pain.

Letters of Rec: Very strong from two partners at private equity firm
Extracurriculars: founder of chronic pain/depression support group, volunteer soccer coach
Race/Nationality: White/American
Sex: Male
Age: 31

Target: Top 15 (including M7).
Questions/Advice: I have just recently overcome injuries, taken the GMAT - should I apply in Round 3 this year or wait and apply in Round 1 next year?
Post-MBA Goals: Transition to healthcare strategy, preferably companies looking for non-traditional solutions to depression that would have been helpful in prior experience (i.e. Johnson and Johnson - newly approved Ketamine-based drug, companies looking at psilocybin).

Happy to share additional details if necessary.

Thanks for the help.

Best,
J

Kind of a tough one; what are your goals? If you plan to do consulting or something involving on campus recruitment you are getting a little on the old side. So that would indicate R3. However optimally, round 3 is best for those with sky high GMATs or URMs. Most seats are taken and they are adding frosting on the cake at that point. Like someone to round out diversity or bump up the GMAT.

You might consider taking your top schools and applying to a handful now and then if now traction R1. But mix it up in terms of ranking because reapplying in R1 is not an option; too soon to have shown improvement. Other consideration would be January term for CBS given your background if you don't need an internship (but only if you truly dont.) January batch at INSEAD is good for IB, obviously consulting or if you want a one year program and need an internship.

Congratulations on your recovery!
