Hey catalan1980,
Thanks for reaching out to me. Quick question - Goals, what are they? I always like to say that an MBA is a bridge to your future goals - so what are your short and longer term goals?
Remember that your current experiences need to (in some way) support these goals (along with an MBA.) I would encourage you to start thinking about how your current experiences can support a future career, and then consider what schools have the strongest feeders into these industries. Remember that failure to clearly articulate these goals and the factors contributing to them are among the most common reasons for rejection. On that note - it is important to recognize the most underrated aspect of the admissions process, demonstrating fit.
Your current work and extracurricular experiences are good enough for a top 15 (at first glance), so are your GMAT and GPA. However, before I can give you a list of schools, you (and me) need to have a better understanding of your goals.
Respectfully,
Paul Lanzillotti

Hi Paul,
Post MBA i would like to work in a medical device startup, preferably venture backed. Then I would like to transition to an EIR role in a VC firm, eventually moving to the VC management side (one of the reasons i have also been pursuing the CFA). I have already started to interface with these VC firms in my current role in BD
I hope this adds more color to my plans post-MBA. I'm very passionate about medical technology and i believe my essays, letters of recommendations and my interviews will convey this.
Could you suggest some schools that will fit this profile well?
Best Regards,
V
