alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1830 Targeting Round 1 will help. Profile overall looks very decent, and you’re not being overly ambitious with school selection. Are you currently engaged in activities outside of work, in your communities?

Showing impact and growth at work will be very important, supported by strong recommendations. That will be key, and compliment your strong GMAT score.
