Re: GMAT and Application Assessment
Hi Francisco,
Your multilingual background and strong college performance caught my eye and should definitely be strong points in your profile. You have selected a competitive group of schools, but there is a bit of a range within this group.
The one area of concern I have is the breakdown of your GMAT score. A 67% Quant score will likely be noticed, and you may want to address it. This can take the form of a few different options. You can:
-- Use your essays to stress your strong college coursework in Quant classes
-- Take an online or local college course in an Quant-focused area of weakness, such as Finance or Accounting
-- Re-take the GMAT with the goal of raising your Quant score
Without knowing your specific post-MBA goals it is hard to comment on which of the schools might give you the best chance for admissions. In addition to academic ability and work experience that demonstrates leadership potential, the schools are also interested in how you engage with the broader world. You don’t discuss that here at all - are you involved with your community? But given the information you provided, I think you have the potential to be in the mix at most of these schools.
