What are my chances

My official GMAT is 640 (34V/45Q). My GPA is 3.1 (came back from a roughly 2.3 GPA in freshmen year, also graduated early) from UC Berkeley. My major was Economics with focus on microeconomics.

I have about 4 years of experience, 1.5 years in the Aerospace industry with a large public firm doing logistics and supply chain and 2-3 years in a military contractor niche small firm that I did mainly military project finance, general accounting, purchasing, IT, sales proposals, and various project management tasks. I was a finance analyst, but I got to work on many tasks outside of my focus because of the size of the company and their confidence in my work.

I was and am doing activities including being the captian of a recreational tennis team, did some community service work (tutor, fundraise, etc), and taught an undergraduate-level entrepreneurship course at UC Berkeley.

I am also Chinese by blood, but born and spent 10 years in Venezuela so I come from a diverse cultural background.

Let me know what are my chances and what should I work on in getting into the following business schools:

HEC
UCLA
Rochester - Simon
UCI
McCombs
HKUST


Thanks in advance,
Peter

Dear Peter,

You have an interesting profile in terms of work experience and cultural background. Your GMAT and GPA are in range; however, if you could increase your GMAT at least 20 points it would strengthen your application for your target schools. Since admissions decisions are based on more than the numbers, your essays, recommendations, and interviews are critical to the ultimate decision and give you another chance to shine and make your case for a seat in the class. Be sure to convey your successful leadership and teamwork experiences in your essays as well as a solid rationale for getting your MBA in relation to your past experiences and future career goals.

Best of luck,
Lisa
