Mr. NYC Native

About Me:

Born and raised in NYC and looking to continue to stay here for the foreseeable future. Limited free-time outside of work so don’t have many extracurricular activities to speak of. Wondering if it’s worth it to re-take the GMAT or build up my profile in other ways before applying. I believe my strengths are my work experience and my undergrad GPA.
