Post MBA Goal:

I want to try management consulting. I have been in Corporate finance, and I have a wide knowledge of risk analysis, however, I feel it prevents me from assessing business opportunities.

Hi Mr. Asian Mexican Finance Hombre,
It looks like you have solid achievements. This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. I like that you are doing well professionally – from leading a COVID emergency expense plan to hosting a customer forum. The Admissions Committee wants top performers who have a positive career trajectory. That said, your GPA and GMAT score could be a concern as they are both below Johnson’s averages. For the other schools on your list like Tuck, NYU Stern and Duke, your scores are quite far below their averages.

Hi Mr. Asian Mexican Finance Hombre,
It looks like you have solid achievements. This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. I like that you are doing well professionally – from leading a COVID emergency expense plan to hosting a customer forum. The Admissions Committee wants top performers who have a positive career trajectory. That said, your GPA and GMAT score could be a concern as they are both below Johnson’s averages. For the other schools on your list like Tuck, NYU Stern and Duke, your scores are quite far below their averages. As you are 8 years out of school, having a strong GMAT score will be important to show the Admissions Committee that you’re ready to hit the ground running academically. For your GPA, there’s nothing you can do to change that. But do consider explaining the circumstances that affected your GPA in the optional essay. For your GMAT, if retaking it is not an option, do look into the GRE. The study material is similar, but some applicants find the GRE test format more suited to their test-taking style. My estimate of your odds at Johnson is based on applying now with a 650. But if you improve your test scores, your chances will increase. If you would like to discuss your profile in more detail, feel free to schedule a 1:1 consultation with us. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!
