Rate my profile: Odds for M7 and T15 MBAs
Hello All,
I hope you are doing well on this beautiful Tuesday. Long lurker on this forum, I have decided to finally participate as I would like to have opinions on my chances for acceptance into M7/T15 MBAs.
Background:
Non-native English speaker coming from Western Europe (white male). Got a double Master’s degree from a top 15 university and a top 4 business school in my country. Don’t know how my results translate into GPA but they are not fantastic excepting those in BSch.
Work experience:
Currently a second year investment analyst at a top developer which opened its first office in my country when I joined 2y ago (think Hines, Related, Greystar…). I have been part of a great entrepreneurial adventure, including a successful fundraising of c.€1bn. I have been heavily involved in the first fundraising process and still involved on a second potential JV. I also work on real estate acquisitions (close 2 deals so far, c.€160m), due diligence process and so on. I benefit from a strong exposure to senior management and capital partners.
My plan is to gain more experience, become an early associate and then apply to top US MBAs. I would like to transition into IB as I like what I’m doing on a daily basis but I want to work for a BB in their Real Estate division. I’m feeling too close from assets and would rather like work on M&A, IPOs and capital raising operations. I enjoy the complexity of financial deals and the advisory aspect.
GMAT not taken yet but I’m planning to obtain a 700+ score (let’s say 720/730 as a friend with same academic background got that score).
Extracurricular:
I have done some volunteer work such as formatting of Business Plan and help in debt raising for an African entrepreneur (€200k). On a monthly basis, I’m involved in ULI (Urban Land Institute) on problematics such as affordable housing. I’m also a member of a business network, with whom we invited business, politics and arts personalities to exchange on various topics.
Thanks for any advice.
TBH its way too hard to predict without the GMAT. Repost this 6 months from now because depending on your GMAT you could be at a T20 school - M7.. It's stupid but true.
