Dear Jon @admissionado,
Thanks for this wonderful opportunity to get the feedback from an expert.
I am going to apply on this December/January next year for my several dream schools.
Below is my profile :
1. Indonesian, 30 years old
2. Undergraduate degree : Food Technology from non-top Indonesian university with GPA 3.65. Second-best graduate.
3. Work experience : have been working for 8 years in the Indonesia's largest food processing company (appr. 5 billion in revenue).
4. Work experience include middle management position (manager) across the country. Lead several teams with total 70 employees.
5. No international working experience, though will be heading to UK to attend Pre-MBA program (and to increase my English fluency)
6. Haven't taken GMAT already, planning to do it on this July. Going to take extra miles to achieve minimum 715-720 score.
7. Extracurricular activities : (only mention three among many)
- Executive Council of Student - as a President (it happened 10 years ago, I think it is not necessary to mention for now).
- Head of Mentoring Program in community service - a scholarship plus mentoring program that helps children maximize their potential.
- Founder of youth community.
On the bottom line, I can bundle up my extracurricular activities and my passion with several key terms : helping young people to reach their dreams and expanding their educational opportunity.
Short term goal : change sector to non-profit or social impact startup
Long term goal : establish social entrepreneur movement that emphasizes in helping kids reach their dreams.
My target school and program : Full Time MBA with great social impact initiatives, including : Yale SOM; Berkeley Haas; Michigan Ross; Fuqua and Oxford.
Look forward to your feedback about my profile, will appreciate that so much!

Hey!
Great to hear from you
Selamat!
Actually we work in Indonesia quite a lot, so you came to the right place!
The first thing I can say is that in general Indonesian candidates do quite well, and female Indonesian candidates even better. This is likely because you guys are a preeeeetty rare breed. Now if you can add a high GMAT to the combo that would be awesome! Because the biggest problem we have seen with Indonesian applications thus far, is that there is a LOT of struggle to get a good score (probably a mix of not enough good GMAT teachers in Jakarta + not enough time spent studying). If you can break a 710 that would be awesome!
So you work for a food company? (You aren't the guys who make delicious Indomie are you?
Do you happen to be sponsored for an MBA? What do you do in your 8 years? How have you advanced? How much leadership do you have? I'd love to hear more about you, to find out where you stand.Also, it's FANTASTIC that you have some strong community service. That can make a big difference as long as everything else is good.
If you would like to hop on the line and chat with our Indonesia expert and resident whiz, Yaron, drop us a line and we will set you up with a full-on Free Consultation: https://bit.ly/mbafcGC
Best,
