MBA Handicapping: Applying From Latin America — Federico Knows The Cohort

Federico works as an assistant vice president at Citigroup’s corporate and investment banking group. He has nine years experience at Citi,  executing transactions and managing clients in Argentina and Latin America. His immediate career goal, however, is to land a job in I-banking at a Wall Street firm where he could play a role in the Latin market.

He brings an impressive 710 GMAT score to his MBA application, though his undergraduate GPA in economics from Universidad Del Coma is 3.2.

His MBA targets? Harvard Business School, Wharton, Columbia, Northwestern Kellogg, NYU Stern, UVA Darden, and MIT Sloan.

In this episode of Friday’s With Sandy, HBSGuru.com Founder Sandy Kreisberg assesses his odds.
