alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1572 Knowing where you want to work, post mba, will help identify the best target schools for you. Good GMAT, your gpa appears to be a little lower than average for the very top schools. Good work performance is important. Hopefully you can show real impact, in a rigorous environment. Any ECs/volunteer experiences to round out your candidacy? Applying in the first round should be helpful. (0)

Made plenty of impact at work, and the companies I work have MBB equivalent of advertising. Volunteer wise I teach pro-bono at a local college. Also, launched some fests and clubs in college, made some major impact there. Can also speak 4 languages. (0)

laurenwca Verified User. Likes Earned: 8 Your work experience will be considered atypical, so be sure to quantify and explain your impact and success, how it stands out in your industry. If you want to keep the thread of brand management and advertising post-MBA, that would help create a feasible goals story for the adcom. Best of luck with your apps! (0)
