Washington U. / Olin Business School Recommendation Questions

I would like to attend a top business school to launch my career as a strong business leader. I am a senior dual major in Information Technology and Business Analytics. I'm involved in greek life at my school and also have founded and quickly grown my school's Finance Club. I will begin my career in investment banking but would like to gain admission to a deferred admission MBA track before I join the workforce.

I have been working in financial services for the past 5 years. I have been promoted in my current job (private credit).

I have been active in volunteering roles throughout my life, especially from grad school and then while working (blood drives, low income kids, and people with different abilities).

I am a father (and provider of my family) which has shaped and inspired my main post MBA goal which is to focus on early childhood development. Alternative is to continue in private markets.

Concerned about low GPA (7.4/10). Not mitigating circumstances; however, I have two bachelor degrees: one in math and one in finance (both heavily quantitative), and both from the top business school in my country.

I got a 645 in my first try at the GMAT FE; will take another shot to try and raise my score to 665-675.

Eager to hear about school selection (my top choices are Yale and Kellogg).

Indian male engineer applying round 2 to the schools listed. I worked for 3 companies over the last 10 years where I've managed several engineers. I started a nonprofit focused in food sustainability. I'm working now to improve my GRE but I can not seemed to score above a 305. My background is filled with quant. My question is will schools look at my GPA as a negative? I majored in Engineer at Princeton for undergrad. Is my profile overrepresented?

Very involved in non-profits outside of work. Hold leadership positions in said non-profits. Going into social impact consulting post-MBA.
