Hi i´m looking for a profile evaluation for a mba (Top 20 B-Schools) my post graduate goal is to work in a sports related company. My Gmat score right now is 660 (44Q 36V), but i´m studying to reach +700.
i´m 24 yrs old Business Administration graduate from University of Lima 18´ Peru with a GPA of 3.36, i was a student-athlete (soccer) the whole career.
here a resume of my work experience:
Faber Castell (2015-2018)
In my time in college i decided to work as an finance intern. My first 2 yrs i was in credits & collections, financial planning and Treasury.
Then i got a promotion, still in college, for a full time job offer at Credits&Collections. I didn´t have people in charge most because i was studying and playing for the university, trying to managing my time.
Then i worked at Pluspetrol in 2018, Oil and Gas company as a Financial Intern.
This time i go a step back because i was trying to learn from this field. I was in the company for just 3 months because i didn´t have the money to pay for my degree and the company only hire people with the Bachelor certificate (at the time i was raising money for that) and my internship time was over.
I´m not gonna lie that was a very painful time, started to asking myself a lot about what i was gonna do. I was and am in good shape and already played soccer at good level so i decide to try for professional sports. For a whole year in a way of saving money and searching for options i traveled looking for opportunities in Peru at different teams while earning some money in little randomly soccer games
All of the sudden i was able to pay for my degree and have a little bit more money to try abroad, so i went to Argentina in order to upgrade my skills and looking for more chances of getting pro.
As a conclusion, the working conditions for a less experienced older player (23 yrs is old in soccer) in Latinoamerica are really hard. I got some offers with some clubs in Argentina, Peru and Paraguay but the paid was extremely low and with high risk. This is an issue that i would like to solve in general for young soccer players in the region, labor conditions are disadvantageous primarily because of low regulation from the governments and associations.
After a couple months in Argentina i came back to Peru and with my degree finally completed, i was able to land in the best bank in the country, BCP.
1 year later i´m a Business Analyst, my job consist in to be a consultant for an account of 84 clients with debt of US$40MM. It´s a really high-paced job with ambitious goals. At the moment no people in charge but i´m growing here.
Community Work:
All my life i was short of time due to my soccer career. I started when i was 11 years old and don´t stopped until 23. Right now i´m doing a local project with my girlfriend to increase the awareness about the residual management in small businesses. I believe in the project, requires little money and with more spread and effort i think it could reach the whole city of Lima. But for now is a very small project
As a whole i´m an athlete that is working on a bank, but really my goal it´s to get an mba to open doors at companies related to sports around the world. I want to be a model for a lot of young athletes, there are other options when the sport career is over and mentoring them is one of my goals.
So, that´s all. I would like to get some feedback. I now i need improvement in Gmat and W.E.
I you guys ask me, i would love to be in an MBA that allows me to explore topicsand fields, in that way Stanford and Booth are my primary goals. I know it´s hard but i´m working on that. Planning to go in 2022.
Thanks for reading this

Hey Mauriciohc95,
Thanks for posting and telling your story. You've got an interesting background and a lot of moving pieces:
Academics: a 660 and a 3.4 are both slightly below average for a t10-20, but I've had a number of clients get into schools like Duke and UCLA who came from South America with similar stats. On the whole, Brazilians tend to have high representation in an MBA class but there's lesser so from places like Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru. If you can bring your GMAT up to 690-710, it will make your profile loads better, and it shouldn't be that hard to do with some diligent studying.
Work Experience: Here's where I think you're a bit light, but your role now is a good one to continue to work at for another 2 years to gain experience and move up the ladder a notch. You're still very young at 24, so applying at 26-27 is not a bad thing at all, you'd still be a bit below the median age for a lot of programs.
EC: Having a professional sports background, or at least showing that you tried to make it through the ranks, is always a positive. It gives you a number of talking points and stories for your essays. Keep up with your project as well, even if it is not as successful as you would like, it shows you want to make a difference and put your words into actions.
All in all, focus on bringing up the GMAT and really excelling at work over the next 18 or so months, you want to make sure your recommendations are truly stellar. Please feel free to reach out at [email protected] to discuss your applications in more depth.
Regards,
