Hi ricky05,

Thanks for sharing your profile with us!

It sounds like you've maintained a fairly consistent GMAT score range during your mock exams, so your job is really just to stay the course until you sit the actual exam.

You have a pretty impressive work and volunteer profile, which is great. My biggest question for you to contemplate is WHY you want to switch to consulting after b-school. And what type of consulting? Financial consulting? Management consulting? With a specific sector focus? Since you want to be a career switcher, it's important that you articulate WHY you want to switch careers as well as what skills / experiences from your past you believe are transferrable. Do you see yourself in consulting for the long haul, or do you already know that you want to switch back to finance or start a company or do something else after a few years?

The top MBA programs that you listed will all be scrutinizing your career goals, so while you're on track for a very strong GMAT score and while you have a strong resume, you still need to persuade the AdCom of your future career success.

I hope that helps! Feel free to reach out to us at www.admissionado.com if you'd like to chat further.

Best,

Doris
