Your numbers look excellent. My one concern is the length of your work experience. Do you only have one year, post undergrad? If that’s the case, do you really think pursuing a top MBA degree is the optimal time, or would you be a stronger candidate in 2-3 years time? And similarly, would you get more from the MBA experience in 2-3 years time?
