The fact that you speak four languages and have studied, worked, and lived in Shanghai, China for a dozen years, with five in venture capital and nearly three in private equity, has to be very enticing to a business school. You would make a really valuable contribution in a class and contribute greatly to its global perspective. And the fact that you are president of your university’s alumni network in China also tells me you are a natural networker and someone who very much likes people. Your Big Life Wins are testament to your success. And I agree with you: an MBA from outside your home country would be extremely valuable to you and your future, just as you would be a great asset in a business school classroom. As I am sure you know, your stats are below the class averages for London Business School. But your professional achievements speak so loudly that they drown those stats out to a great extent. That’s why I think your chances are LBS are very good and I hope they admit you with welcome arms.
