om13 Likes Earned: 0 Hi Alex, thank you for your comment. My long-term goal is to stay in consulting or internal strategy/general management in Southeast Asia. My 1st target is INSEAD, particularly the SG campus due to its geographical proximity and consulting presence. Do you think INSEAD, LBS, and T10 would be achievable? What aspect of my application do you think I should focus on improving? Thank you a lot! (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1677 Are there opportunities to boost your ECs? Aside from that, I’d seek out assignments at work that really stretch you, etc. Yes, they should be within range, assuming good WE with impact and progression. (0)

grichmond Verified User. Likes Earned: 1245 I agree that applying in R1 next season will be key. I've loving your academic profile (that's a stellar GPA out of a top Canadian school). GMAT is excellent too. I'd work over the next year to boost ECs as much as you can. I'd narrow your list to 6 or so target schools. INSEAD, LBS, Wharton, Kellogg, MIT, Yale would all have brand and networks in your target field/market. I wouldn't rule out HBS either... I'd also look to add some color to your goals if possible...any interest in oil & gas consulting within MBB? Renewables? Best of luck! (0)
