Hi everyone,
I'm a 29 year old male from CEE (Central or Eastern Europe).
GMAT: 700 (Q49V36)
GPA: undergrad around 2.9 (conversion - I had to work two part-time (teaching English) jobs due to family circumstances)
master's around 3.2 (again it is my own conversion according to web research so I don't know how accurate it is, during my master's studies I worked full-time for the same reason)
both my undergrad and grad studies were in economics and international business
At matriculation I would have around 40 months of full-time experience (including the time I worked during my grad studies) I worked for a bigger European bank started in accounting, switched to financial markets dept. (not a front office job)
my extracurrics: played ice hockey most of my life (spent a year playing in the USA) I only stopped playing just before college, started coaching at the age of 17 and have been doing that since (international coaching experience as well) - I still do coach...
started boxing when I stopped playing hockey (in college) and have been active in that (several amateur and semi-professional bouts)
my target industry/function is IB, post-grad ideally in NYC and later move back to Europe and found an IB boutique here
my target schools: only Northeast (one mid-west) for several reasons
choices: Wharton, Columbia, MIT, Booth, NYU, Tuck, Johnson
So what do you think are my chances at these schools? Please give it to me straight
Also, given my profile, do you think I should perhaps work another year to get more experience(another promotion) and improve my GMAT? How significant would such a change be?
Thank you in advance for your time and feedback! It is much appreciated!
P.S. if I missed some info I should have provided, let me know
