alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1677 Appears to be a lot to like, here. Showing impact and progression at work, and impact outside of work is great! Do you have any geographic preference, post MBA? Might also consider Wharton, Kellogg and Ross? GMAT is decent, have you taken the test more than once? (0)
