Hi there,

CONGRATS on that GMAT, outstanding!

That is certainly a plus, and you have some good extracurriculars and some potentially interesting work experience but the biggest challenge is how few your total years of full-time work experience is. The average MBA candidate has 5 years of work experience, and the reason why that is important is that schools want to ensure that you can contribute to the classroom discussions and projects etc effectively.

You could consider waiting a year to apply, or if you are determined for this year, the big q you'll need to answer is WHY NOW, vs waiting, and how has your experience been above and beyond what would normally be expected in 2 years time?

The schools you are aiming for seem generally within reach with UCLA maybe being a challenge, and the GMAT helps, but it will all come down to your story of why you want the MBA and why now, and why xyz school is best for you.

Good luck to you!
