Your work experience can really help you stand out. I like that you have already stood out at work and been promoted. However, you will have to illustrate the impact you have made over your last few years, and to show why you have stood out among your peers there. Additionally, it would be helpful if you can make it clear that you have trained or mentored other analysts at your firm. And as for your extracurriculars, I find them to be rather unique, in terms of the bike charity and acting as a mountain guide. Lastly, being a college athlete should be a boost to your profile.
Overall, I think you have a strong profile, and I see your odds at Tuck to be about 35%, which is about the school’s average acceptance rate.
