Hi! From the limited information you suppled here, it sounds like you are a viable candidate for business school. Your GMAT score puts you within the range of many top schools, and your GPA is good - though did you take any quant classes in college? If not, you might want to highlight some of the quant work you have through your professional experiences. Both your professional and extra-curricular experiences also look strong. As you pull together your applications, I strongly advise you to highlight your accomplishments, not your responsibilities, and look for ways to showcase your leadership potential, by way of stories that tout examples where you took risks or initiative, or made decisions. Lastly, remember that your recommendations are a key piece to your application. Start now deciding who you would like to ask to write your recommendations.

Best of luck,

Rachel Beck
