Here’s a bit about me: 24 M, def a ORM Went to a decent school, top 10 public university, did CS and Finance there so 2 degrees and got a 3.4

There I built a startup my freshman year, obviously not successful but then I did a lot for university’s entrepreneurship ecosystem and led investments at university’s venture fund. Interned at a big startup that raised 100 Mil and worked with CPO on a suite of products that made the company a lot of money, interned at well known app where I built a really successful feature that everyone who uses that app loves (per Reddit funny enough), and interned at a VC under the managing partner and led operations for a few strategic initiatives

Got into an APM program (not FAANG, think Uber, LinkedIn tier) where I work on the AI team.

Really high visibility role, lots of impact, lots of strategic work directly contributing towards growing the business and landing huge enterprises. Can say I directly contributed towards revenue growth which has been awesome. Get face time with company leadership as well which has been a great learning experience.

On the side, in a couple AI fellowship and small programs just to be more involved in the ecosystem.

Got a 685 (equivalent to 730-740 on the old one) on my first attempt of the GMAT FE, retaking it in a week to try to get above a 715 (760) confident I can do it.

Applying this fall and will have 3 years working experience when matriculating. Goal is to use the network I make to work at startups with potential with people I actually know. If that doesn’t work out would love to be a product leader or go into venture.

Aiming for HBS MS/MBA, GSB, Sloan, and maybe Booth. Don’t think the ROI is high enough elsewhere for me given my goals and that I’m not trying to make a career change and not sure how tied into the startup ecosystem other schools are. Also if I forgo 2 years of salary and the role I’m in it’s definitely gotta be worth it long term.

Obviously lofty goals and these things are super competitive and I don’t have a perfect profile in any ways, but worked to have good work experience to try to make up for it, would love any advice.
