Hi Stacy Blackman Team,
Please kindly provide your professional evaluation and comments based on my profile and target schools (all full time MBA programs). Thank you so much ahead.
Target schools: MIT Sloan, Kellogg (2Y), Booth, INSEAD (Jan Intake), LBS
Post MBA career aspiration: Strategy consulting - preferrable serving Finance Services sector clients
Work experience (at matriculation, all in Hong Kong): 2 years as human capital analyst (broadbased rewards and executive compensation), 2 years as in-house strategy consultant at a startup, 1 year as risk management consultant
GMAT: 700 (Q50,V34) <= Finally took it today huh
Education: Master in Finance from a top 5 UK business school (graduated with distinction); Bachelor major in Finance from a top 5 univeristy in Hong Kong (GPA: 3.6/4/0)
Professional qualifications: CFA Charterholder; Certified FRM
Extra-curricular: Captain of an amateur basketball team, member of company's Greater China Diversity and Inclusion council (also chairing a young professional network; one of two diversity clubs in the region); active participant of company's and external charity events (participant and trainer of a recent charity run); lead violinst of an amateur music band; Founding chairman of M&A society during master studies
References: Office head (though not direct report but we work closely on managing relationships of a few key clients and also she is chairing the diversity council); a senior consultant who I work with very closely
Questions 1: Is my profile competitive enough to be earn admission at my target schools?
Questions 2: Given my lagging GMAT verbal score (34 only), would it make sense to retake to boost the score? Or is(are) there any alternative way(s) to make up this deficiency?
Questions 3: Any areas I could improve to enhance my chances?
Thank you so much again and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
