Hi there,
You have an interesting background - as you think about your applications, I would encourage you to focus on a few things:
- think about your story and how you will "connect the dots." In other words, make it clear how what you have done in the past links to what you would like to do in the future. Also, what is motivating you to pursue your goals?
- I like your involvement in your extracurricular activities, but how have you demonstrated leadership and impact?
Your GPA is on the lower side, but your GMAT score is quite good - in my view, you should have a good chance in the top 12-20 schools. I hope this helps! If it would be helpful to discuss further, feel free to reach out to me at https://www.ivygroupe.com/contact.

Hi,
I agree with Shaifali about connecting the dots. Your auditing experience seems to be vastly different from a business analytics role. You will have to explain why it all makes sense given your past work experience, exactly what role are you targeting and what would your transferable skills be into the next career move.
In terms of b-schools I see a mix of aspirational and reach, which is a good thing. Considering that you are certain about enrolling into MBA by next year, add another safety school to the mix. Select one that you would surely attend if that's the only one that works out for you.
