Hi! Thanks in advance for the profile review, or any comments you have on my profile. Looking to apply to deferred admission programs at some top schools (mainly H & S) this year as I'm an incoming senior, so wanting to see how I'm looking at this point.
Main Profile
Main Profile
- Undergrad: GPA 3.98/4.00 (7% or greater in class, as more precise %s are not available yet) with a double major in Economics and English. I'm at a US T20ish school.
- ECs: I am a TA for 3 (possibly 4 this year) classes, with a head position in one class. In my main club (professional development organization), I held a key leadership position and made a tangible impact. Hold another campus job at the art museum as a tour guide, and was also an RA last year and will be this year as well.
- Test: Took the GMAT FE with a score of 695 (supposedly a 98%tile, equivalent to a 740 or 750, but we'll see if percentiles get updated)
- Took the test a second time but didn't improve,,, even though my mocks were improving. So not sure if it's worth continuing to try.
- Internship / Full Time: Interned at an MBB firm and recieved a return offer which I am going to after graduation. Internship was between sophomore and junior year, so am now working at a farm this summer (like literally doing the weeding and harvesting).
- LORs: Hoping to get one from the partner/mentor I had at MBB, and then one from a teacher I've connected with at school.
- Demographics: Don't think it matters too much, but I'm upper middle class, latino and white, and I'm gay — happy pride haha!

Hello and thanks for your post regarding your deferred admissions profile.
You have a really impressive profile and you should be proud!
In terms of your stats, your GPA is of course excellent, so that is a good start. Your GMAT is also strong, but if you feel like you can score even better because of your mocks, then you have nothing to lose; I would suggest you try 1-2 more times.
Your leadership in your ECs is very important and will help you stand out, so it is good you are a leader in one professional development club; definitely elaborate on that role in your application.
And I am happy to hear you have a return offer at MBB which is very impressive, though ideally you can talk about what other productive activities you are doing this summer, in addition to working on a farm. For example, what transferable skills are you gaining and using?
You should definitely be applying to the top deferred programs, but keep in mind how incredibly competitive they are. Thus, I suggest applying to several to give you the best chance of admission to at least one of them. Hopefully they will see that you have a compelling story and are someone who will add value to the classroom and community.
Good luck!
