Hi,
As mentioned above, it would be better if you gave a detailed writeup about your activities/roles etc.
Nonetheless, here are our thoughts regarding your candidacy at NYU Stern for their Langone (part time) program.
1. Your GMAT score is good and toward the upper range in the 80% score report range. Hence this should not be a problem, despite your weak quant. Remember, you have also shown them how good you are in verbal. However, it might be a problem as you have a finance background and you would be expected to be excellent in quantitative methods and analysis. Hence, we are divided on whether you should re take the GMAT, with a slight inclination towards re taking it and strentghtening your Quant percentile. Clearly your verbal is great, and thus you could also improve your overall score a lot as well.
2. Your GPA is also good. As you mention this is at a prestigious top 20, you should not have any problems here.
3. Your work experience seems great and in line with what they would be looking for (need more details to be certain). Deployment to Europe and multlingual fluency are going to definitely work in your favour.
4. You have not quanitified your extra currics, so cannot say much about that. However this area needs to be strong as Stern stresses on a community bulding, collaborative environment. Keeping this in mind, you should also try and see if you can provide some good leadership examples, as they would be integral to essays as well. Your research oriented work would go down well, expecially the speaking atverious international conferences bit.
Hope this helps. Best of luck.
