Hello all,
I plan to apply to LBS for my MBA and I'm starting to get a little nervous about my chances. I am a lawyer from Mexico (received my law degree in 2020), I have 4 years of work experience in 2 different law firms. 3 of those years I've focused on project finance for infrastructure and energy projects in LATAM, advising both private clients, banks, and governments in structuring projects, financing them, etc. I also advise clients in M&A and real estate matters (mostly hotels). The law firm I currently work at is one of the top 3 in Mexico and with offices in London.
Besides that, since early 2021 I started an angel investor syndicate in Mexico to invest in Mexico and LATAM startups; I've been working a lot on that and by the time of my application I expect to have closed around 4-6 investments in startups as a syndicate. This kind of syndicate is probably the first of its kind in Mexico and I plan to highlight my efforts towards democratizing capital supply in the country a lot in my application.
My GPA for law school (one of the top law schools in the country) is 4.0, but my GMAT score was 680 (V42 Q40 IR8 AWA 5). I am worried that my background and score are not enough for an LBS application.
I would really appreciate some thoughts on the matter.
Thank you very much!

It sounds like you have some really interesting experiences that can make for a unique MBA application. I wouldn't worry so much about whether your profile fits a particular mold. There are always public officials, lawyers, doctors, etc. in every MBA class. That is what helps create holistic diversity at these programs.
Your GMAT score, on the other hand, is a slight area of concern. If you are keen on applying to LBS, why not give the exam another go? You should have time since it's only the middle of June. If you can get a 700+ (by increasing your Quant score in particular), that would go a long way in reassuring the schools about your ability to thrive in the technical, quant-based environment of an MBA program. That is usually an sticking point for non-finance, non-consulting types.
Kindly reach out to us if you'd like a free consultation and are interested in our admissions consulting services. We can discuss more on a Zoom or equivalent call.
