Hi Everyone,
I recently took my GMAT and got 680 (Q49, V32). Much lower than what I was expecting based on my mocks, but I might not retake it because of the time constraint; will apply R2 for 2020 intake. Verbal is really not my strength relative to my Quants. I would appreciate if you could give your honest opinion about my chance of getting into H/S/W despite my low GMAT considering my whole profile.
Citizenship: Filipino (I believe we are very much under-represented)
Age: 27
GMAT: 680 (Q49, V32)
GPA: 3.95-4.00 (Converted GPA from Philippine Grading System)
Undergrad: BS Electronics and Communications Engineering
University of the Philippines (No. 1 Univ in the the Philippines)
Magna Cum Laude and Class Valedictorian (out of 71 graduates)
Work Experience: 6 years
Tech Startup 1.5 years (sold to the biggest telco in the PH) - provided free WiFi to more than 200,000 Filipinos
Cloud Architect/Head of Infrastructure Engineering 2.5 years (telco)
Country Leader for Digital and Cloud Solutions 1 year (Regional IT Solutions company, involved in some South East Asian projects)
VP for Enterprise Architecture 1year+ (biggest rural bank in the PH, youngest executive in the company, responsible for digital transformation of the bank)
Others: Several Leadership Awards
Won (2nd Place) in International Innovation Competition in Brazil during college
Involved in several projects (e.g. Developed a Prototype of Adaptive Traffic Light Systems to minimize traffic in Metro Manila)
Post MBA Plans: FinTech and Financial Inclusion (Banking the Unbanked)
Background: Came from a very poor farmer family from a remote province in the Philippines. First in the family to attend university in the city, more so graduate studies abroad. Was able to pursue college only because of scholarships. But struggled to adjust in the city and juggled part-time work while working.
My personal background is a significant factor of my career plans. Coming from a poor family (and have climbed the corporate ladder quickly), I want to use my expertise in technology to continue solving social problems atleast in small ways. I need MBA to marry my skills in tech with Finance, and to join the Financial Inclusion revolution in 3rd world countries like in the Philippines.
Thank you very much in advance.

Congratulations Buddy for your good score.
Your GMAT score is not low at all, especially if we put into consideration your academic and work excellence and your underrepresented group.
Be confident, move forward and hope for the best.
You already have no time, so don't overthink and take your shot.

Yes, there are very fair chances of a person with your profile with good academics. But it’s just not the numbers game that can convert you for targeting top 3 B-schools on the planet. The average cohort has about 5 years of work experience, which is good with your profile. Apart from your profile, you need to work hard on your application essays and share your post-MBA goals, skills, your roles and responsibilities at your workplace and your recommendations which will help you impress the admission committee.
Cheers!
Cheers!
