Hi there,

Thanks for your post. Wondering about the urgency? Feel free to let us know if you have specific questions you'd like answered!

So it sounds like you have some solid experience and likely particularly-strong project management and analytical skills, and you've handled some valuable accounts. What is tougher to assess in this brief profile overview, but schools would look at more closely on your resume and in your recs and essays, is your leadership experiences... your teamwork and communication style.... and what impact have you made. The more you've gone 'above and beyond' what was expected of you; and the more you can draw from working with and leading others, the better.

I'm not sure what your nationality is, and what schools you are looking for, but schools are interested in diverse class make-ups so that could be relevant (or not).

Your GPA is strong; GRE is not always assessed as a total # but schools would look at your scores and percentiles for both Q & V. Good luck on the upcoming GMAT... that will likely influence your level of school that seems most appropriate to apply to!

Your international experience and exposure is a plus; and it sounds like you've put some thought into your post-MBA goals, which seem relevant.

So overall, you have some good elements to your profile but tough to provide much more insight without a GMAT and more detail. Why don't you reach out again post GMAT perhaps? And we do offer a free 30 minute consultation that includes a resume review if useful... that is at https://mbamission.com/consult/ if interested.

Good luck to you!
