It will be important to also show impact and growth at work, even in your non-client facing role. Having strong ECs also may help differentiate your profile. What is your long term goal? (0)

Do you think i should i apply to colleges ranked lower basis my profile . Also If i want to optimize for scholarships (50%+) which colleges should i apply? Do you think my high gre score and previous workex at MBB will help me get into T10 schools? (1)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1587 If you’re seeking scholarship money, then more top 16 and top 20 programs may be worth targeting. But again, you’d need to be in the first rounds. Yes, your numbers will help. Impact of work, and your growth at work will be key. (0)
