Hi
I need some analysis on my profile for the following schools
Dual degree (ideal option)
- GSB MBA and mpa Princeston
- MIT MBA and HKS MPA
- HKS mpa And Wharton MBA
Open to other dual degree program ideas if you have any too.
Stand-alone mba degrees
- dream Schools: GSB, HBS and Wharton
- second choice: Columbia MIT and Yale
- third choice: Berkley mba
- female late age 30 Australian/NZL from ORM background
- tier 2 strategy consulting firm for 6 years (started at a tier 2 strategy consulting firm then moved to another tier 2 then moved back to same one) - mixture of pe and corporate strategy work
- former professional athlete
- undergrad degree at top Australian nzl university with “distinction” graduation (75/100)
- GRE score: v160 q162.
- Masters in at well known international university in UK (not good grades- average of B) but received a big scholarship
- internships at top investment banks
- post graduate goals: doing a start up to arrange to help access more people to get learning disabilities testing such as dyslexia dysgraphia etc
- working on strategy projects including Ed tech software of learning disability, working with universities hard fund programs
- extra circular activities: pro Bono charity consulting work (per project basis) , co founding company’s Neurodiversity support network and building a Neurodiversity mentorship program at former university,
Questions;
- Should I retake gre?
- which other dual degrees from different unis should I look at?
- is my profile realistic for the target program?
- I have a learning disability. Should I mention it? If so will it disadvantage or advantage me?

Markuslangham88:
Regarding your questions:
(1) Should I retake gre?
I am kind of on the fence. If you have the time to prepare, don't mind any associated costs, and believe you can actually raise your score a few points, then go for it. Breaking the 160 threshold was key for your candidacy, but if you want to have a shot at your top choices I think it would be advantageous for you to retake the exam. You have a great baseline score, so I don't see too much downside.
(2) Which other dual degrees from different unis should I look at?
That depends on what you want to study! Tufts offers a great international MA program to complement with HBS or MIT Sloan. You have a nice list of programs here, so I would start with those and then add on later.
(3) Is my profile realistic for the target program?
What do you mean by "target?" You have a very interesting background. It's hard to say from this post as there is so much nuance that goes into evaluating experience and for obvious reasons you had to anonymize the names of your companies and some of the underlying projects you have worked on in at those companies. Generally speaking, you will be a candidate but further analysis is needed.
(4) I have a learning disability. Should I mention it? If so will it disadvantage or advantage me?
You can mention it as part of one of your essays. If you appropriately describe it and the steps you have taken to overcome or mitigate it, that could make for a very interesting story. You do not want to head of the "pity party," but if it's central to your life and your academic and professional experiences, you should definitely introduce it to the AdCom. It will definitely not put you at a disadvantage unless you do not strike the right tone in your essays.
I hope that helps. It sounds like you could use the help of an admissions consultant such as ourselves. If you are in the market for support services (essays, letters of rec, resume, etc.) please reach out for a free consultation. We can discuss your background, school lists and more!

Thank you for this. I just had one follow up question.
If I take the exam again but I score lower. How would the school look at it? Would it been I need to retake it again get my original score or do they only look at your highest score?
