alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1663 Which rounds are you targeting with these programs, Round 1 or 2?

Your undergraduate degree, is the 3.2 competitive? Do you have a class rank, or even approximation?

The rest of your profile sounds really good, honestly. Showing impact and growth at work is key, and I’d assume is evident. Nice additional activities, outside of work, too.

Might even add 1-2 M7 programs to the mix?

Def my weakest part of my application. 3.2 is converted however my school scale. Another part is that i had no promotion in either of my roles. I had verbal from FLDP program but decided to switch industry to learn/grow. Should i include this verbal promotion? Good to know to add 1-2 M7 schools. I already felt like yale/berkeley/tuck are massive reaches (1)
