alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1701 targeting the first rounds will be very important. Re your school selection, you’ve targeted the US top 10 (perhaps with one exception). There’s not much differentiation there, are you planning to apply to all these programs in Round 1?

Showing impact and growth at work will be very important, as you acknowledge. Be good to understand your goals, and connection to your experiences to date. VC can be very challenging to break into.

Super GRE will help, too!
