Hi,
I am a Brazilian male, 27 years old.
Graduated in law in a top local university. Slightly above average in class and with some extracurricular activities such as being assistant to two professors, basketball team captain and runner for the university all-team.
I have 8 years of work experience, 5 in law related jobs and 3 as a product manager. I am member of the founding team of a vc invested company (second worker after the 2 founders, leadership role since the beginning, already working there on our first ever contract, before seed and series A).
After the mba I plan to pay the debt and start my own company.
Took the gmat last week, my official score is 730 (Q49/V41, IR 8, awa 5).
I honestly think I can score better on the gmat. Would a 750 make a difference for my profile? Which schools I should look for? Which admissions consulting firms I should look more into?
Thanks!

Hi Lucas, this looks really good. I'm glad you have three years in product management because sometimes it's a little difficult to show impact and achievements with law. I am a law school dropout myself
Definitely track the impact you are making at your current company and show that off on your resume. Extracurriculars are OK, you could probably help articulate teamwork skills this way. The GMAT score is really solid, but I always tell people if you have a better score in you, retake. Balance how much effort would be involved to bump up your score by X percent. If you are applying in round one, make sure that retaking doesn't cut into your application quality. If you're applying round two then I would definitely retake. Just because you feel as though it wasn't your best score.

Heylucasba33,
Thanks for sharing your profile.
Your profile looks good on the surface. Coming to your academics, graduating from a top local university in law demonstrates your academic capabilities. While you mentioned being slightly above average in the class, it's still a valuable degree that provides a solid foundation for your future endeavors. Your GMAT score of 730 (Q49/V41, IR 8, AWA 5) is already quite strong. A score of 750 might slightly enhance your profile, but keep in mind that the GMAT is just one component of your application, and your overall profile is well-rounded.
Having 8 years of work experience is impressive. Your experience in law-related jobs and as a product manager adds depth and versatility to your profile. Additionally, being a member of the founding team of a venture capital (VC)-invested company, assuming a leadership role, and being involved from the beginning showcases your entrepreneurial spirit and initiative.
Speaking about your ECs, your involvement as an assistant to two professors, basketball team captain, and university all-team runner shows your leadership, teamwork, and time management skills. These activities highlight your ability to balance academics and extracurricular commitments.
Considering your profile, here are a few schools you could consider:
1. Harvard Business School
2. Stanford Graduate School of Business
3. The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania
4. MIT Sloan School of Management
5. Columbia Business School
6. London Business School
7. INSEAD
8. University of Chicago Booth School of Business
These schools are known for their strong MBA programs and are highly regarded globally. However, it's essential to thoroughly research each school, understand their values, curriculum, and fit with your future goals before making a decision.
Overall your profile looks impressive and stands a good chance at the top B-schools. Remember, your profile is not solely defined by your academic and professional achievements. Your essays, letters of recommendation, and interview performance will also play crucial roles in the admissions process.
We offer a limited number of complimentary profile evaluations each week . We match you with the students and alums of top B-Schools according to your background and target schools. In this call, the experts will try to dig out your USP for top B-schools and provide you with honest feedback on your profile and chances to your target schools.

Good luck with your application process!
