Hi Ravi,

Your profile seems quite solid. I think the mix of experience as a trader combined with your family business exposure make for an interesting profile. It's also great to see that you have a passion, dancing, and enjoy participating in performances. Dancing requires a lot of discipline and teamwork both of which make this a great potential essay topic!

If I were to suggest you focus on one thing it would be to retake the GMAT. While a 690 is a good score, it's not on par with the average GMAT scores at the institutions on your list. I suggest retaking it this summer with a goal of 700+. Just breaking the 700 thresh hold will help.

Best,

Stacey
