Be interesting to learn more about your extra curricular activities, assume some of your activities stem from your experiences being an immigrant. Strong GPA, GMAT is within range for top programs, but is slightly lower than average. Could consider a retake, if you think more preparation will help. I would work on your goal focus. Might make sense to look at consulting as a short term goal, with a focus on data-driven strategy, then an ambitious long term goal? (0)
