I am not sure I can apply to top Bs

by Alespiss » Sun May 27, 2012 4:16 am
Hello,

I took my GMAT one month ago and I scored 710. I was quite satisfy, but now that I am looking at top business schools I am quite doubtful about it. This is my profile:
1-Italian,male,28
2-Double degree (France-Italy) in BA obtained at a very known French Ecole
3-Assistant of a Professor of Startegy for 1yr at a top spanish business school
4-Corporate Strategic Planning Analyst for almost 3yr at a multinational company based in Spain
5-IELTS:8.0

My biggest concern about the application is the flaw in extra-curricular activities apart from the collaboration with a volunteer organization since november 2011.

Do I have some chances to aim at top business schools (I am looking at MIT,Stanford and Kellogg) or is it better to focus on 2nd tier BS?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards,

Ale
