Hello!
I'm 25 yrs old, First Generation, immigrant Chinese American Male (Naturalized US Citizen, moved to US when young).
Graduated from University of Southern California with a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering (GPA: 3.86) and a M.S. in Astronautical Engineering (GPA: 3.90).
4 years work experience. 2 yrs at an Aerospace start up (~30 people total) and 2 yrs at a well known aerospace/defense contractor firm. Currently a Lead Aerospace Engineer managing a medium sized team of around 10 people. Have 2 published scientific papers.
GMAT Focus: 675 (Q85, V85, D81)
At my time at USC I was a lead at the college rocket propulsion group and managed multiple rocket engine test campaigns. I was also in an engineering co-ed fraternity and held a leadership position there as New Member Educator.
Planning to get my 2 letters of rec from the CTO at the start up I was at and my current manager.
Short term goal: consulting. Long term: VC/PE in the aerospace field or starting my own aerospace/defense start up
Targeting M7 schools + Stern. Want to know if my profile is strong enough for a strong chance for acceptance + scholarships.
Thank you in advance!

Your 3.86/3.90 GPAs from USC and 675 GMAT are excellent for M7 and Stern!
First-gen immigrant story adds depth—highlight that resilience in essays. Four years of aerospace experience with leadership is solid, but consulting might need stronger narrative ties. For VC/PE long-term, leverage your startup experience. You’ve got a strong shot at acceptance; scholarships depend on essays.

Managing a team of 10 as a Lead Aerospace Engineer at 25 is impressive! That leadership experience will stand out to M7 schools. Your rocket propulsion role at USC adds a cool factor—use it to show initiative. The GMAT 675 is competitive, but aim for standout recs from CTO and manager to boost scholarship chances.
