Hi,
I'm looking for advice on how to go about strengthening my profile for the coming MBA application cycle.
For context, I applied to Wharton this year, was waitlisted after R2, and ultimately rejected.
Couple key datapoints that could be helpful background:
- Gmat: 720
- Undergrad GPA: 3.5 in mechanical engineering
- Current job: Consultant at Bain in Philly for 2.5 years; promoted at 2 year mark
- Goal post-MBA: transition from consulting into automotive sector focused VC
- Extracurricular: pro bono consulting for mobility start-up in China for 2 weeks
- Additional: dance enthusiast
Thank you!

Hello G842
It is the same data points that got you till the wait list stage. Unless these stats have changed since application, this info will not help.
What will, however, help is your actual application as that is where the details are concealed.
Having a look at your essays/LOR/CV etc could help gauge what went wrong.
Looking at stats one can suggest only one thing- to improve the GMAT score (since you pretty much cannot change anything else in that).
Next would be to get more achievements at work in the next one year and have career goals that suit the school better. But these are generic statements and your actual weakness may be evident in the application, so that is the first place to start.

Not sure of your ethnicity but if overrepresented could use 10 or 20 pts more on the GMAT. But my bigger suspicion is that your recs were a mess and/or the application was not done well.
