I am confused with what should I write with my profile

[timothyrs]

Hey there dude,
Well, let's say that there are certain "complications" that come from coming from a wealthy family. And although perhaps you do not intend to brag, I might be able to understand how people may not like that. But don't worry about that, just make sure it stays out of your essays

Basically your profile is fantastic, and with a great application you are fair game for Top 10 schools. You have the prestige, the family, the money, the grades, and the GMAT.

I am assuming you have worked for the family business for the last few years? Anyhow, go with that as your story - and you as the heir inheritor of the family empire, and need to go to Bschool to get the proper contacts/knowledge to continue the business and take it over eventually. Getting a letter from the President of your country (as long as he knows you personally) can't hurt either . Although exactly WHO to ask what from is something which you need to think about at length.


Otherwise looks good! And you have done more than just sit on your wealth but worked very hard to achieve your academic successes, and I think the Adcoms should notice that as well!

If you have any other questions at all, just drop a line.
