Hi there,

Thanks for sharing your background - you have a very compelling profile with a high GMAT score, solid GPA, strong professional experiences, and impactful leadership in the community. The top 2-3 schools within the M7 will be a stretch (as they always are), but you should be competitive at the other M7 schools.

I hope this is helpful - if you'd like to discuss further, feel free to reach out at [email protected] or https://www.ivygroupe.com/contact.

Best,

Thanks for sharing your profile, you are certainly in play with the M7 schools with your strong GMAT, work experience, and ECs. I saw no mention of your career goals, not totally necessary for this profile review but I would focus on targeting the programs in the M7 that make the most sense from you from a personal and professional development perspective. Connect the dots to your specific interest to these programs and you should be in good shape when it comes to decision day

ARINGO · Answer

What is your post-MBA goal and why do you feel you need an MBA? That is the only question I have for you that could make a difference (as well as having a specific reason for going for a specific school or program, if there is such a reason, that will strengthen your chances at that school or program of course, but might weaken it at others). Besides that, your profile really has a lot of potential, so if your essays really will be strong, I would rate your chances of admission as really good at most top schools. But again, be prepared to address the issue of “Why that school” for each of them in order to maximize your chances!

Good luck!
