alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1649 Good luck with your GMAT retake. Likely with your profile and background, there would be any meaningful difference between targeting Rounds 1 and 2. So might go high in Round 1, but leave 1-2 M7 apps for Round 2 (learning curve effect means potentially stronger narrative in Round 2).

Your pathway to consulting is a little unusual, which may help you stand out. Impact and growth at work will be very important.
