Hi,

Thanks for your post. You have a solid GMAT score and work experience that put you on par for top 15-20 US programs, however, you don't mention why you want to get an MBA. Your post MBA goals should be part of the process as you develop your school list.

Additionally, you do appear to have quite a few extracurricular activities, however, am I correct in assuming that they all took place during undergrad? The reason I ask is that many schools specifically state that examples older than 3 year can't be used in the essays - thus potentially making it challenging for you to write about experiences outside of work if they all occurred during undergrad. My hope is that I am simply misinterpreting the information and that you do have some team and/or leadership examples from outside of the workplace that you can use in your essays. The reason I am mentioning this is due to the large pool of applicants with similar backgrounds that apply to top US bschools. The best way to stand out in the pool is quite simply to find unique and compelling essay topics - most of which come from outside activities.

Best,

Stacey
