Hi,
Just completed my GMAT and got a 760, Q49 V44 and am awaiting IR and AWA scores. Based on the strength of my score, several people have recommended that I apply to top US schools and I would really appreciate some insight regarding my application.
About me:
- 25 year old Asian male, Canadian citizenship
- B.Commerce from University of Toronto (GPA 2.44/4)
Work experience in chronological order:
- Various retail banking roles during undergrad, Cash Management Analyst working for large Canadian bank upon graduation. Stayed for 1 year (considered top talent in that role)
- Infantry Officer - Canadian Forces, top graduate of my training program but I left after a year for reasons that will be stated below
- Entrepreneurship - Started a made to measure menswear company that turned profitable after 3 months, been working on that this last year
I want to leverage an MBA to launch a career in management consulting or investment banking. I know I need to make up my mind soon about what stream I'm truly targeting but I wanted to ask if I stand a chance applying to top 10 US schools or if I'm just wasting my time and money. The low undergrad GPA and early retirement from the military can be addressed in my essay, I had extenuating personal circumstances. '
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for any responses!

Hi,
Congrats on the GMAT!
You will have to be really clear about what you want to do post MBA. Management Consulting and investment banking are two very different paths. And you've had 3 distinct professional careers so far.
https://marveladmissions.com/the-power-i ... eer-goals/
Once you have clarified your post MBA career goal, you will have to explain the why you are interested in your short-term career goal, and what transferable skills you have that will help you succeed in the role.
Sounds like you have reasons for the low GPA and various career changes, so you'll have to explain that in your application.
Good luck!
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
