Hi Doppel,
Great profile here. Only thing that I'm wondering about is your GMAT, which is low for your demographic. You didn't post the Q/V breakdown: is there a balance between the two, or is one of the two a weak area? For your choice of schools, you're running a bit behind the competition in this area, so if you're targeting Wharton, we'd want to see you at 720 or above. Is a GMAT retake on your horizon?

For engineers, even with a PhD, leadership becomes a crucial factor in differentiating you from the pack. We'll want to see your leadership in the workplace, and also see you take a leadership role in local community involvements here in the US. A stronger GMAT and community leadership would round out your profile nicely, making you a strong competitor for top MBA programs.

Good luck!

Hi Margaret,

Thanks for the evaluation. My GMAT breakdown is Q47, V39 and I am considering a retake. I'll post again once I get my scores.

Thanks!
