My Profile
Nationality: Dutch
Age: 28 years (at matriculation)
Gender: Male
GMAT score: Not yet taken the GMAT, took the GRE several years ago (V164, Q168) which implies a GMAT of 700+
Work experience: 2.5 years (at time of matriculation)
Current Industry: Consulting (European MBB Office)
Previous Industries: Consulting (Intern, MBB), PE (mid market analyst(started of as intern) in between studies for 6 months)
Currently an analyst in a continental European MBB office, top performer. Worked on projects around EU and in Middle East, Africa and North America
Undergrad school/ Major: Bsc in Economics + Bsc in Econometrics from top-ranked Dutch University, 4.0 GPA (Completed both degrees simultaneously in 3 years)
Grad school: Msc in Economics from top-ranked Dutch university, (4.0 GPA), Mphil (Research Master) in Economics from Oxford University, Distinction
Extracurricular activities:
• Founded an organization that teaches students about socially responsible enterprise and organises projects implementing such projects in practice. The programme realized an ambulance service for the poor in Pakistan and a sanitation service in rural India.
• Volunteered as a project consultant for a microfinance organization in Mumbai, India
• Board member of my Dutch university's economics society (+/- 300 members), organized study trips to India and Thailand as well as a well attended lecture series with prominent speakers.
• Active as research associate at a research institute at the University of Oxford during studies (Institute for New Economic Thinking), working on complexity economics.
Career goals: Continue in MBB for several years, afterwards entrepreneurship or PE.
Target schools: HBS, GSB, Columbia, Wharton, Insead. Probably fully sponsored.
Main worries: age, only 2 years of experience at 28 (most Dutch students start working around 24). This is due to having completed two master's degrees and having taken a year to intern (for 6 months) and volunteer in between graduate degrees.
Already completed an advanced degree (Mphil), perhaps adcoms are skeptical about why I would also require an MBA
Thanks in advance!

Hey dude,
So you have a great profile. Your'e Dutch, you're in MBB, you're doing awesome at work.
Actually 2 years experience is enough for two primary industries: IB and Consulting, so you're pretty fine there. The one minor concern might be that "Hey this dude has spent sooo much time in school. And he wants to go back AGAIN?"
So you might want to see how to defuse that question before it crops up.My main concern is actually that we are one week away from deadlines, and that if you are only starting now, there's a big danger of you not being ready in time.
And THAT might make you want to wait for R1 nest year, especially if you are enjoying work.
I hope this helps,
And if you have any other questions, do not hesitate.
Best,
Jon
