alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1830 Super GRE score. Is that also a strong GPA? Are you able to target the first rounds? I think that will help. HBS might be a stretch, but adding 1-2 more M7 / top 16 might make sense.

Showing impact and growth at work will be very important, supported by strong recommendations. Are you now also involved in activities outside of work?
