Hey dude,
Good to hear from you!!!
Just one quick question to clarify before I answer you: How old are you? Cause you wrote about seven years of pre-college work experience. Does that mean you went to college real late? Or are we talking about "Work experience lite" when you were a kid?

Can you clarify? (and while you are at it, tell me a bit more about this experience)

Thanks!

Hey there,
So overall I like your profile. You have some interesting stuff, and some good stories. Your US attorney's office work is interesting (although not necessarily that relevant professionally, but more as an interesting personal story) as well as your leadership, and being a female candidate always helps too!

I also agree with your self-evaluation that the GPA is really a bit of a bummer, esp. since the rest seems pretty strong (or at least has the potential to be pretty strong).

The one other thing that is not clear is your STORY - From Bio to Hotels??? And then from Hotels to what? We are gonna have to smooth that out.

Of course a lot will depend on your GMAT, but assuming a GMAT of720+ I'd say that schools in the 5-20 ranking should be fine. The Top 5 schools will be real stretches with your GPA, but other than that I feel like with the right GMAT, the rest of the schools should be possible.

I hope this helps,
Best,
Jon
