GMAT score?
Work experience is lower, your internship doesn't count for anything. Are you MBB?
Hi Stats are
Must have missed the gmat.
If you apply broadly your scores are good enough to get a few in the M7 imo. Although consulting in itself is not unique, Asia to France to Oxford to the Middle East isn't exactly common. Just have to consider that entrepeneuership, VC, tech, are all flashy things *everyone* wants to go into with limited spaces.
Why didn't you apply R1?
I decided to apply for an MBA this month, which made it impossible to apply for R1. Would R1 be easier compared to R2? Also, what do you think about the questions I asked?
R1 has the highest acceptance rate in schools. But, the reason behind that is questionable. Typically, the highest caliber people apply R1, so the reason the acceptance rate is high may be because of that. You'll be ok applying R2, but avoid applying R3 as most of the slots are taken by then.
I think you need to work a little bit longer and show progression. You have under a year of work experience which is well below the average for all Top 20 MBA programs. Quite frankly, I don’t think you would have much luck in the MBA recruitment even if you got in because of your work experience.

I see. I’ll be around 2yrs with the firm before I join MBA 2025 (if ever), and do you think it’s be difficult? I was thinking this as more of 2+2 kind of thing in recruitment.
