Hello dubinsky, thanks for your question.

Nice job on the GMAT! And, your GPA is solid.

At your age, it really comes down to demonstrating your leadership potential to programs. Without work experience, you should call out in your extracurricular activities times where you have truly led, driven results, and taken the initiative.

Moreover, how do you engage with the world? What are you passionate about? How have you pursued those passions? If you can show a track record of taking your interests/passions/hobbies and initiating results or productive outcomes, I think that can move the needle with admissions committees.

Your GPA and GMAT score will open doors for you, but it's those other factors that will close the deal and determine your competitiveness at those programs. Your list looks pretty comprehensive.

Best of luck,
Brian

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
