Hi everyone! I'm thinking about applying to M7 deferred programs but would like to get a second opinion my profile's strengths and weaknesses. I feel that I'm unsure of next steps, so I thank you for your time and help!
Demographics:
21M, White/Caucasian Male, Low-Income College Student
Education:
GMAT: 665 FE - 84Q/83V/82DI (This is definitely the point I'm most concerned about. I think I can improve, but I'm spread thin in terms of time)
Work Experience:
Entrepreneurship -- still refining exactly what I want to do, but hopefully in the intersection of finance, tech, healthcare
Dream Schools:
Sloan is my top, but no real preference afterwards
Thank you again!

Hi abruhh , I hope you are doing well.
This profile showcases a well-rounded candidate with a good academic record, including a 4.0 GPA in a T15 UG business program, alongside valuable internship experiences at top firms like Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and a mid-sized tech investment bank. Your leadership roles, particularly in the investment banking program and as CEO of a healthcare SaaS startup, demonstrate initiative and entrepreneurial drive. However, your GMAT score of 665 is decent but slightly in line with the typical range for M7 deferred programs, where scores often average between 700-740. However, according to your profile, I am sure you have stories that will help you compensate for your GMAT score. If you have time to retake, you can definitely retake, else focus on your application. Refining your post-MBA goal in entrepreneurship and further connecting it to your current experience will also make your profile even more compelling. With some adjustments in these areas, your profile would be a strong contender for deferred MBA programs at top schools like Sloan. We have helped a deferred MBA applicant to get admit to Wharton and Columbia. You may read his success story here. We would like to know more about your profile, as the information you shared is brief, and getting to know in detail will help us identify if you can pull out good stories from your experience.
If you’d like, we are happy to discuss more about your work experience, leadership skills, impact created, challenges faced, awards&achievements and extracurriculars to assess your chances to top B-schools and strengthen your application with impactful stories.
Cheers!
