The Application Process

Hey there,

Thanks for the post! First off - yes, being eligible for citizenship helps . Really shifts your employability profile!

So you have a strong GPA from a pretty good school, and experience in Finance coupled with community involvement that ties well to your passions. You also have some other things going for your such as your athletics, scholarship, recognition / accolades, etc. Those are all good things!

Now, that said, you haven't taken your GMAT. Mock exams, while helpful, are directional, not true assessments. So even if you score a 700 on a mock, doesn't mean you'll necessarily do that day of. The reason I say that is, year after year, we have clients who come to us pointing to mock exams and then pull in lower scores day of. There's simply a margin of error too large for them to be really useful.

Hopefully you absolutely crush the test but from a top 10 / 20 hypothesis - your guess is as good as mine without that data point. But suffice it say, you do well - you're in play!

After you take the GMAT - reach out to us and let's take this conversation a level deeper. You can sign up for a free consultation here.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
