Hello, experts!
I am a 27 year old woman with a Serbian and Canadian citizenship. I hold a bachelor of arts in cinematography at a top Serbian university, with a GPA of 9.37/10. My GMAT is 750 (AWA 5, IR 5, V42, Q49). I am fluent in English and Serbian, and intermediate in French. I have six years of experience as a freelance photographer and cinematographer and I am an owner of a photography studio. In the past two years, I've been organizing events and exhibitions and cooperating with various cultural institutions.
I have a wide range of extracurriculars: basketball, acting, choir, soccer. I have also volunteered five hours a week in the past two years.
I am interested in pursuing a path in cultural management and enterpreneurship after the MBA. I am interested in Judge and Said. I am also considering IE and Bocconi. I will be applying in last rounds for September 2015 start. I am wondering what you think my chances might be, especially scholarship-wise, and if I should consider any other schools that might be fitting for my desired career path?

Hey there,
What a GMAT!!!! Wow.
Also, I quite like how nontraditional your experience is.
I think the most important thing is that you have very very clear and logical goals. Because you have a very non-traditional background, so the Bschools want to know what you want to do and whether that makes sense.
R3 is always very tough, but if it's better for you to apply now then go for it. You might also want to look at INSEAD and HEC, both of which have January intakes, and are in their early rounds of application, so you will have better chances.
I hope this helps, and if you have any questions at all, just drop a line,
Best,
JF

Hi there!
Thanks for sharing your background. I'd like to echo Jon's congratulatory note! Very nice work on the GMAT! Your academic profile certainly puts you in the running for the schools you listed. Your application will sure be unique - I encourage you to think deeply about how you will culminate your experiences to tell a compelling story to the Admissions Committee. Consider focusing your involvement more on your events, exhibitions, and interaction with cultural institutions while keeping the extracurriculars at a "hobby" level.
R3 is indeed tough - you have sufficient experience, your academics are in order, and assuming that you have your leadership/involvement together, why are you leaning towards R3? Would love to learn more about your story. Let us know if you'd like to chat!
