Greetings, Nicolas.

Congrats on your achievements and your decision to leverage them to attend b-school. You are obviously targeting top schools, which is a good strategy. Some of your key strengths will be your GMAT score and the fact that you are clearly fluent in English, yet have extensive international background. American b-schools thrive on diversity, so what you offer purely from your nationality and global business experience will be a real plus. The only weakness I see at first blush may be your limited number of years experience, but by the time you matriculate, you will have almost four total years of professional experience. On the plus side, investment banking experience is valuable and intense and perhaps counts more than something not quite as finance heavy. Hope this helps!
