Hi there, could I please have my profile below evaluated? Specifically, it would be really helpful if I could have views on whether its worth retaking my GMAT to get into my reach school (Kellogg). Thank you in advance!
Background: Singaporean, female
Languages: English (Native), Chinese (Fluent), Cantonese (Conversational), Japanese (JLPT N3)
Education: Law degree from National University of Singapore, Second Upper
GMAT: 720 48Q|41V
Work experience (4.5 years):
I am currently working as a legal counsel in a niche global streaming service where I am the lead for the marketing and HR departments. I advise on commercial and legal risk and am heavily involved advising on the operational aspects of running a business in the tech, media and entertainment industry. I moved to this role to have more exposure on the commercial aspect of legal work and how businesses are run and the opportunity to work in an international environment.
I was previously working as a lawyer in one of the top local firms in the tech and media practice. I completed multiple major transactions and had the chance to lead a negotiation as a junior lawyer. I was also heavily involved in running a multinational study on tech-related issues which culminated in a report advising the government on legislative and infrastructural changes.
Extra Curricular:
Currently a volunteer for a government initiative where I interact with residents and feedback their issues to their elected member of parliament for further action
Was a volunteer lawyer in legal clinics and had received a certificate of appreciation in recognition of the frequency of my volunteering.
Helped to grow an online platform which sought to connect individuals interested in donating or collecting food scraps for composting
Established the alumni band for my high school
Goals
I would like to work in consulting post-MBA, preferably in the sustainability field.
Target schools: LBS, Tuck, SOM, Kellogg

Hi AshC4321,
Thanks for reaching out to us at mbaMission with your profile.
I think your score puts you in a good position for Kellogg. No need to retake from my view. Especially if you are targeting Round 1, you should be more focused on the application work at this point.
As you can imagine, there aren't as many MBA applicants with a legal background, and what makes your profile even more interesting is that you're now getting exposure to the operational side of a business, which is great to demonstrate your interest in furthering your business studies and career. It sounds like you have several leadership accomplishments, both at work and outside of work.
Consulting seems like a doable path -- I don't see the connection to sustainability but perhaps you haven't had a chance to explain that in this forum. Do make sure you can back up that interest either through work projects, previous studies, or personal activities.
Good luck, and keep us posted if we can help with anything else.
Kate
