alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1577 Are you European? Euro candidates are sought after, to some extent, in the US top programs. I worry your GMAT is low for the top programs, have you considered a retake? What are your post MBA goals? It’s important that they have some focus, are realistic while being ambitious. (1)

anon91280 Likes Earned: 2 Thanks for the feedback @alexbr4. Eastern European, no candidates from my country at most of listed MBAs for the past 20+ years (I assume this could be advantage?). Will try to retake and break into 700s. Ideally VC, alternately consulting and development. Should I focus on covering more realistic goal (development consulting) or go for the ideal one? (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1577 Be more realistic with your goals, development consulting. Breaking 700 would be very good. And yes, it should be an advantage for you when you come from an under reprinted geography. (0)
