MBA Chances

Wanted to quickly hop on here to hear perspectives on my MBA chances and any advice. I don’t have any family who did an MBA, don’t have a coach/consultant, or know all too much about the process so wanted to gauge my chances of getting into a good school. I’m going to be applying to the top 15 MBA programs here in round 2 for a fall 2026 start with the following general background/resume:

- non-target undergrad program, finance and economics major with a law minor, graduated with a 3.76 GPA in the Honors Program
- 2 years of M&A IB at a MM Investment Bank
- 2 years at a MM PE shop
- 685 Focus GMAT (80Q, 83DI, 89V) (translates to 740 on old GMAT)

Happy to share any additional background but curious to hear others perspectives on my chances of getting into a top program and any advice people have. Appreciate it!
