Any shot at M7 or T10?


  • M 23
  • 1 yr of work experience
  • 176 LSAT
  • 640 initial PT GMAT (havent don’t basic math in years, think I have a decent shot at 720+ once I brush up on it)
  • 3.5 GPA (government major)
  • Manage .5 people

I work for an IR firm helping international small and mid cap companies doing their IR comms. By far my favorite part of my job is interacting with the clients and helping them build out their story and work on their pitches.

I know comms itself is a significant disservice to my app, but does the exposure to C-Suite execs in weekly meetings (where I actually talk lol) help? Or the fact they're all international?

Jokingly say I manage 0.5 people because we have a part time worker who I “manage.”

To explain the LSAT, I really love doing research and math was never a strong suit. I thought law would be suitable, but am really loving interacting with these companies and helping them find financing. IB never seemed like my speed, but MBB always intrigued me. Last year I was able to get a referral from a BCG partner but never got any interview, likely due to my background

I know there will be recommendations to hold off with only 2 years of work experience and while I am definitely considering it, would also like to know my odds of getting accepted to a decent school (T15 or so) even if I were to wait a year to build 3 years of experience
