Hey all!
I'm new to GMAT club as I've recently begun considering b-school. I'd like to get a feel for what schools are good targets for me. I was formerly preparing for law schools (actually applied and was admitted to HLS, other top schools, but wasn't ready to take the plunge in becoming a lawyer) and it was easy to determine my target schools based on LSAT/GPA--this obviously isn't true for b-schools. Here are my stats:
- 3.9+ GPA from flagship public in math and economics.
- 700 GMAT-PREP practice test (45q, 40v). Took it cold and am hoping to get this near 750 by upping my quant score.
- Work as entry level analyst in the economic consulting industry. The firm is well regarded in the industry although not well known in the business world in general. I'd have 1.67 or 2.67 years W/E at time of enrollment depending on when I apply.
- I volunteer in the community; I tutor underprivileged high-school students on the SAT in a poor neighboring city.
My goal is MBB strategy consulting.
Thanks in advance GMAT club!

RickyBobbyBrown,
You have the makings of a strong profile. I would recommend pushing the GMAT quant score above the 80th percentile, and you should aim for 2-3 (minimum 2) years of work experience. The biggest thing you can do for yourself, however, is to develop a stronger leadership track record. Your tutoring is commendable but doesn't demonstrate leadership. Since you probably don't have control over the amount of leadership job you can demonstrate at work, finding a leadership role outside of work where you can have impact could be important. Assuming you raise the quant score and apply with 2 years of work experience and demonstrated leadership, you may well be competitive at top 10 B-schools.
Hope this helps,

Looking good dude,
And if you can get into HLS, then it's a good sign for Bschools too. Your GPA is stellar, your GMAt fantastic, and your work looks good, although 1.67 years is likely to be a bit little for most places, so the 2.67 starts to seem reasonable (I get though that you don't want to go at it toooooo late given your goals and all).
I'd say, do amazingly well for one more and then see about applying. Your GMAT is golden, so all that's left to do is your app. Aaaand since you are here anyhow, you could use a weee bit more on the volunteer side, so find something sweet for yourself for this year and a half.
Best,
JF
