Are you targeting round 1 for next season? Be good to know a little more about your goals, post MBA. Super GRE score!

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1676 It sounds like you have strong work experience, good acads and great GRE score. Make sure you target round 1 for next season. I do worry a little about the lack of ECs (understandable with your additional part time studies) but it will be good to show some breadth of interests/activities/hobbies? (0)
