Hello Ask Admission Teams Here,

I hope you are well and keeping healthy.

I was advised to share my profile here to get some feedback on what could be a strength or weakness of my profile and how best to prepare for most of the schools I am applying to (for an MBA) with the advised international students' application window closing by October 12 for some of them.

My Profile
- Nationality: Nigeria but resident is Kenya because of work (been in Kenya for 4.5 years i.e. since undergrad studies)
- Gender: Male
- Undergrad was in Scotland.
- Undergrad studies was in Business Management and finished with a 2:1
- Been working in fintech. My first job out of college was being a chief of staff to the CEO of a large fintech on the African continent and now a fintech manager at a multinational bank
- Worked in 3 countries on the African continent since undergrad
- GMAT / GRE score (not yet done but practice score below):
I recently took the GRE (from Kaplan) and GMAT (from Manhattan) full practice test and below were my scores:
GRE: Q142 + V146
GMAT: Q27 + V26 (total was 450)

- Amount of work experience (not including 1 year of internship during undergrad):
4 years and 7 months. My first role was chief of staff to the CEO at a fintech, then product manager promotion at the same fintech, then moved to Uganda as a commercial manager for a food tech company (Spanish company but with a footprint in Uganda), then back to Kenya as a fintech strategic partnership manager at a multinational bank, and now the head of partnership at a compliance tech startup in Nigeria.
- Industry experience: Fintech, Foot tech marketplace, Banking, Compliance tech
- Extracurricular activities:
I run a social enterprise that gives none collateral loans to women in my country. I was the alumni association president for 2 years post-graduation. I was an academic rep of our student union during my undergrad. I was also a class rep for the 3.5 years of my undergrad
- Post-MBA plans is to work at least 3 years in consulting and then build a digital bank on the African continent
- Target Schools: Haas, Judge, Said, IESE, INSEAD, Rotman, Sauder UBC, GSB, Kellogg, HBS, LBS

Please I would appreciate any support on how best to "sell" my profile as an MBA applicant, what GRE scores I need to aim for (I do have a sense for each school, but what will work considering my profile?), and a general review of my profile from admission support teams here.

Thank you.
