anon15368 Likes Earned: 13 Hey Guys, thanks for the reply and sugestions. Impact at work I believe I will be able to show throught my past promotions and the projects I managed. I also lead now a team of 20 people, including managers in a Fortune company. Regarding activities outside work, at college I was a volunteer at a non profit, but after that not much into it. I teach yoga, love to read , run, but besides visiting more than 60 countries, nothing very special, which worries me. Previous GMAT was 49/36 and I will retake new Sunday, hope to improve my score. Yes, all R2 applications as GMAT took me more time than I expected. I am still in Latin American and female, so I counting to the fact that I am not overepresented :) . Any suggestions or worries regarding my GPA? (1)

anon15368 Likes Earned: 13 Hey Alex and Graham, one last question: I was able to improve my GMAT to 720 with a Q50 and I am very happy about. However, I only had a 3 in the IR which concerned me a lot. Should I go with my new score of 720, Q50, IR3 or my previous one 700, Q49, IR5. Thanks for the help :) (0)
