Hi there! It’s Stephanie Horn, Master Consultant with the MBA Exchange and recent Poets and Quants “Top 10 Admissions Consultants”. You have several encouraging aspects to your profile. You have an engineering major, and you have strong work experience dealing with top-tier brands. Your GPA and test scores are solid, if not outstanding. Retaking the GMAT would help with a school like Booth. Candidate with a sales background can struggle with demonstrating leadership and impact outside of deal making (the nature of the work means there’s often no exposure to implementation). Make sure you demonstrate how you’ve build a strong sales team and worked to improve the effectiveness of your department and its interactions with other parts of the business. Cornell is a good target …

Hello Mr. Brazilian Black Engineer! Krista Nannery from mbaMission here.
It seems like you have some great experience with some of the world’s leading CPG brands. Make sure this is clear in your application as b-schools really respect deep exposure to these brands. I also love that you launched a new product for the Americas…make sure your resume tells that story. While Account Management/Sales can be a somewhat non-typical MBA path, I think the fact that you are a URM and have been realistic with your school choices — well, I think you’ll have options in this process.
I have a question for you about your GMAT though…705 does not exist as a GMAT score! So it makes it hard to really evaluate exactly where you …

I have a question for you about your GMAT though…705 does not exist as a GMAT score! So it makes it hard to really evaluate exactly where you stand. If I assume 700/3.1/URM/CPG, I think you have a decent shot at programs like Stern and Tepper, in addition to Cornell. You might want to even add Ross into the mix as I think they will like the diversity you bring to the program. Booth might be tough because they expect great stats. I would not be surprised if Darden offered you an interview…international candidates don’t tend to target Darden so it’s a good play for you!
I hope that helps!

Academic performance is ok, but engineering background and length of employment is definitely a bonus. The engineering background should play well at Cornell and I feel that management consultancy after graduation is definitely an achievable goal. I would like to know more in terms of extra curricular activities.
