GMAT: 750
GPA: 3.6
Years of Work Experience: 4
Location: Korea
Post MBA Location: West coast
Notes:

Long term goal: Run my own VC focused on deep-tech ventures in East Asia
Short term goal: go back to my consulting company's (MBB) west coast offices for 2 years, and then join an early stage deep-tech venture

At my consulting company I focused on the tech industry (AI, semiconductors, data center, cloud, EV) and geographically East Asia along with few projects in France and the US.

Personally I did side projects on making applications for mental health or prevention of phishing crimes. I also did few volunteer works for 5+ years.

Is my GPA a big no no for my target schools? :(

Indian male, with US undergrad, and 5.5 years of work experience. Applied to full time programs two years ago, but didn't work out. I made the career pivot into the industry I wanted to post-MBA (Climate Tech). I want to keep working and get an MBA at the same time hence I chose weekend programs.
