Dear Nicolas711,

I think you have the foundation for a competitive application to your target schools. However, you are targeting the most competitive/selective business schools. As such, your essays, recommendations, and interviews are critical to the ultimate decision. I think you have some interesting extracurricular activities, so use those to your advantage. Also, be sure to convey your successful leadership and teamwork experiences (both professional and personal) in your essays as well as a solid rationale for getting your MBA in relation to your past experiences and future career goals. Finally, you might want to add 1-2 safety schools to your list. While you have a good shot at one of your top choices, it is always good to have a backup plan.

Best of luck,
Lisa
