Hello Mr. Many Achievements!
Krista Nannery from mbaMission here. Thanks for posting!
You know, I worked with someone like you last year with similar stats and he was quite successful in his applications, even though he came from an over-represented demographic. So I think schools are going to find you very interesting — and they’ll love all your awards and international experience too. I have a question about that GMAT score though! 735 is not a GMAT score that exists…you’re either 730 or 740. So if you haven’t taken the exam yet, I’d love to see 740+ to bring the schools on your list really into reach.
One other small concern is the eight years of work experience upon application. This is double the average work experience …

One other small concern is the eight years of work experience upon application. This is double the average work experience at most programs. This may make things a little more challenging for you, so keep an open mind when it comes to the schools on your list. Consider Stern, for example, for its strong real estate offerings. I like though that you are considering throwing in five applications. That will help you maximize your chances of success.
All the best for your applications,
Krista
