That jumbo 770 GMAT and your experience at Amazon should tilt this in your favor. I’d be interested–and I am certain Bocconi’s admissions team would be eager to know–why you left Amazon for the family business and what kind of business it is. Also, having a customer service job at Amazon is pretty low-level so while you worked for a gold-plated company you didn’t have a gold-plated job. I still think the 770 and having Amazon on your resume counts for a lot.

Hello Mr. Tech Dreams! Krista Nannery from mbaMission here! Thanks for posting.
Having that 770 plus Amazon on your resume will definitely get the attention of the AdCom at Kelley, Tepper, UNC, and UCLA. I think this is going to be all in how you sell it though! Support roles run the risk of sounding too admin-y, so make sure you definitely sell your business impact and results. (Check our website for our resume guide for examples.) I’m a little worried that you are on the younger side of things and appear to have a low GPA, but then I also like that you have put together a realistic list of schools. Of these, Anderson may be a tough nut to crack, but if IU is …

I’m a little worried that you are on the younger side of things and appear to have a low GPA, but then I also like that you have put together a realistic list of schools. Of these, Anderson may be a tough nut to crack, but if IU is your dream, assuming you execute well on your application, I think you could do well there.
One quick tip: Avoid dwelling on high-school achievements in your applications. B-schools are more interested in who you are today.
Hope that helps!

Great GMAT score, and experience working for Amazon is a plus. What do you do in your family business? Take away your story about your high school science project, this is old news. Talk more about your bachelors degree if anything!
