Hey dude,
Great to hear from you.

Really :)

So things look really good from here: political involvement in Africa with work as an economist,and good grades from good British universities. Definitely in the running for top 10 schools if:
- You get the GMAT
- You can tell the right story (why MBA, what your goals are, how this links to your past experience, etc. etc.)

But first things first... get that GMAT!
:)

Best,
Jon
