Would you please also help me assess my chances to US & European B-Schools?
Basics:
Chinese, living in the western Europe, IT, Male, GMAT 720(M51 99%, V36 78%)/5.0,
Education:
GPA about 2.8, Bsc. in China, Computer Science from a good-but-not-top technical university. MSc. from a first-class technical university in western Europe
Extracurricular:
during undergraduate: leader of a student association, planned, led and moderated quite many colleage activities(both commercial and non-profit);
during Master education: the only student member of the education commitee, and the only one out of 11 fellow students who graduated on time, but the GPA is just above the average.
Work experience:
In total 6 year of software development.
2 year in China with minor project management responsibility, and field service.
4 year in a Fortune 500 in Western Europe, coordinated a few small projects which cross departments, a bit field service work in another European country
Goal after MBA:
My goal is Consulting or General Management.
My Question:
What tier of Euopean or US schools can I apply? I am not very confident since I have seen many, if not most, of people on this forum have top consulting-or-iBank experience with very high GMAT&GPA. How can a technology applicant without much management experience stand out?
And what do you think are my most obvious weakness in my applications for top schools? and how I could improve them if I put off my application and get an extra year?
Thanks!
