Very nice GPA, GMAT is OK, but a little below the median for a few of these programs. Showing impact and growth at work is important. Are you involved in activities outside of work? (0)

Applied to a few of these schools - and planning to apply to others in the last round. Long term goal is to grow within the consulting industry or start a social impact consulting firm. I was promoted twice in three years at work so I hope that shows growth at work? (1)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1676 Yes, promotions are a good signal for growth. I worry that you’re applying in round 2 and 3, as someone who might be from an over represented profile. If you’re not successful, Round 1 as a reapplicant might help improve your prospects. (0)
