Hello,

You have a very interesting professional background and your GMAT score is strong for the schools that you are considering. It seems as though you will be able to demonstrate leadership and achievement at work. It’s unclear whether the sports involvement you mentioned took place during college or after college. In order to get a better sense for your candidacy I would need to know more about your more recent, post-college activities and career goals. Assuming that you are able to demonstrate that you have had impact on teams or organizations outside of work and have a compelling career vision, I think that you would be competitive at the schools you have listed.

Sincerely,

Akiba Smith-Francis
