Hi All,
Demographic: Male, Peruvian, 25 years old.
School: I studied Finance and Accounting at Universidad de Lima (Top school in Peru). I had a rough start of school so my GPA isn't that great, nonetheless I ended up finishing on the top 30% best students of my class.
Extracurricular activities on College:
* Elected as student representative counsel for the Universidad de Lima Business School, 2011 – 2012.
* Selected as Universidad de Lima representative at “CADE universitario” 2012. (is the largest and most diverse meeting of young leaders of the country that connects and inspires to exercise leadership on behalf of Peru, you must be presented by your school)
*Selected as delegate in several classes over college years.
Work Experience: Currently work at Deloitte where I got hired in a full time position on my last year of college. I was first 3 years in audit where I had an early promotion to Audit senior in 2 years (instead of the normal three years, as is the standard procedure in Lima). After completing a year on the senior position on audit I transferred to Enterprise Risk Consulting as Senior Consultant, I've been there for a year participating in different projects in Peru and abroad (Chile, Bolivia and Jamaica so far). I have always served global clients. I'm specialized on Energy and Resources industry (have Deloitte's certification) Oil and Gas, Mining and Energy in particular. I'm currently in charge of a project implementation in 12 countries.
Other Extracurricular activities:
* Active member of Deloitte Foundation
* Spoke as a host at Deloitte’s annual party.
* Spoke as a master of ceremony on Deloitte’s “Impact Day”.
* Nominated as Deloitte’s “Green Dot Award”. (Green Dot Award is like the "employee of the year").
* Completed a seven – month exchange program in the US when I was in high school.
I'm fluent in English and Spanish(native)
I'm planning on score +700 GMAT score and applying for fall 2017 to:
R1: Wharton, HBS, Booth
R2: Ross, Georgetown
I would like to do after MBA social responsibility consulting, I think Energy and Resources background helps me with it.
What do you think I will need to work on in order to complete a strong profile? There’s nothing I can do about my GPA, but I can get a great GMAT.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Thanks for your post!
Based on what you've shared, I would say you have the following strengths:
-Promotion, recognition, and increasing responsibility and impact at work, at an obviously reputable company
-involvement and leadership recognition in undergrad
-some global exposure
-project management & analytical skills
-communication skills as evidenced by all of the involvements at Deloitte that you mention
The following potential weaknesses or challenges:
-undergrad grades as mentioned
And the following unknowns:
-GMAT
-essays/letters of rec/interviews
Overall the main thing to do to balance your grades is, as you said, score well on the GMAT. If you have time some people take a relevant course and aim for an 'A', one other thought. When you say fall 2017 do you mean that is when you would apply or begin or ? But likely sounds like you have some time?
Things are looking pretty good from here though, so wishing you the best of luck! If you'd like to chat further we do offer a free 30 minute consult option at www.mbamission.com/consult; feel free to sign up if ever interested, and/or post back here with other q's. Good luck!

Thank you Jen for your reply!
I have in mind some people who can write me a recommendation letter (previous boss, current boss, current client, among others).
I'm planning to apply next year on R1 and R2, so I can start fall 2017. Do you think that I can aim to the schools I mentioned on my previous post? If so, I will definetely need at least 700 on my GMAT score, right?
Thanks!
Alvaro

Your chances should be good at the 'R2' schools.
