Hi, thanks in advance for the profile review. Would love some help in which tier of schools to aim for (M7, T10, T15, T20?)
Aiming for R1 2020 deadlines
· Demographics (nationality, gender): Hong Kong Citizenship (Indian/Pakistan Ethnicity), Male, 27 at matriculation
· Education: Top 10 Engineering Undergrad (Berkeley, Michigan, Georgia Tech), Engineering w/ 3.25 GPA (medical reasons).
· GMAT: 760 (Q49,V45)
· Work experience (highlight amount of work experience, industries, roles, promotions, special accomplishments, international exposure):
1 year at a boutique (no-name) consulting firm in financial change management. Worked with non-profits and higher ed. institutions.
3.5 years (at matriculation) at a Top 20 University/Healthcare System in Corporate Strategy and Finance practice. (1 promotion).
· Extracurricular activities:
- Founder of a club in undergrad
- VP Finance of another club in undergrad
- Director of Volunteering at a local clinic (started the volunteer program) - Have a big impact here. $100K fundraising over 5 years, lead seminars, recruited 20 volunteers etc.
· Post-MBA goals: Healthcare Strategy Consulting out of MBA. Then transition into a Healthcare Tech Startup or firm. Goals primarily driven by medical issues since childhood/college. Btw, I've fully recovered.
· Target schools: Thinking Booth, Kellogg, Tuck, Fuqua, Ross, Tepper in that order. Would love some advice here.
· Other information relevant to your profile: Have had a small business selling tech related goods to individuals in my city for 5 years. Revenues are nothing to speak about but it's been helpful in mitigating healthcare expenses.
Questions:
What tier of schools (or specific schools) should I be aiming for? I'm guessing top 20 is doable but how high can I go with such a profile?
Am I competitive for M7/Tuck?
Would love candid feedback!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you guys doing this.

Hi, and thanks for writing! You have a solid profile, with strong academics (the GMAT will definitely help offset the GPA), good career progression, and meaningful extracurricular involvement. Also, it sounds like you have personal experience/passions that underpin your career goals in healthcare consulting/strategy, which will make for a compelling story. I do recommend applying to a range of programs to hedge your bets given the competitiveness and unpredictability of this process - however, I do think you would be in contention at the M7 schools if you put together a strong application. Tuck is certainly a good target school, and I would consider Ross and Duke as well given their strengths in healthcare (Ross has a new Pinkert scholarship for those pursuing healthcare careers). Additionally, I'd especially focus on Wharton and Kellogg for their strengths in the industry as well.
Hope that helps!
