Ask Admissionado

Hi, experts!
I would appreciate some help regarding my profile fit and GMAT score, even though I'll retake it on August, aiming 700+.

I'm a 27 yrs old brazilian woman with a Bachelor degree in International Relations at a top Brazilian university (grade 8.2 out of 10). I speak portuguese, english and spanish fluently and also speak some arabic.

I have 4 yrs of work experience in Competitive Intelligence, first at a major e-commerce brazilian group, then the major eletronic payment company here and now I am working at a major Telecom. On my last shift, I got a 40% sallary raise after taking a certificate course on Competitive Intelligence (grade 8.9 out of 10). I want to advance my career even more. My positions were always related to providing information and insights to different teams: account managers, commercial VP and Directors, marketing planners, financial departments, product development...

I do not have international experience, but I constantly interact with international consultants and employees of my company based in other contries. I do travel a lot abroad for academic reasons (language learning), tourism and visiting family abroad.

I've been engaged with volunteering since high school in many different institutions.
I'm a volunteer at one foundation for over 6 years now, with a leadership position.

I got 660 (Q-45; V-35; AWA-5.5; IR-5)on my first GMAT try and I will retake in August, aiming 700+

My goal is to get to LBS, starting in 2016. After The MBA, I plan to work in a tech or telecom company, since I've always worked in companies related to that and I like the way these companies change fast. It could be a big company, like the ones I've worked, or a startup. I specially loved working with eletronical payments! But I find it very hard to make this post-MBA goal clear and interesting... It is probably the aspect that I'll need most help with.

I will need a scholarship (currency conversion is very cruel).

Besides LBS, I will apply to: Cambrige Judge, Manchester, Imperial, Lisbon (the only one I won't need a scholarship)

If you need more info to evaluate, just let me know.

Thank you very much,
Niddy
