Hi
NikTek, thanks for reaching out to us at
mbaMission. You've got strong work experience with the finance rotations and leadership roles. You've also got a strong academic background in terms of your GPAs and exams. It also seems you have enough extracurricular activities to check that box.
What worries me is your GMAT score. I think that makes some of the schools on your list - namely LBS, INSEAD, HEC Paris - quite difficult. The other schools seem doable though. Is retaking your GMAT an option?
Thanks,
Kate
