With the following information, do you think I have a realistic chance of getting into program? I’m targeting Jan’24 semester start
GENERAL: 28 year-old male, Asian-American (dual citizen)
ACADEMIC BACKGROUND: undergrad in Finance from a small US college, GPA 2.8 and masters in Accounting from a top program, GPA 3.3
WORK: 4 years of experience overall, 2 years with a F500 medical device company where I was promoted once to senior analyst. Currently, I’m a strategy consultant with one of the Big 4 firms with a potential to be promoted to senior later this year
GMAT: after the second take, 690
EXTRA: Active involvement in a number of non-profit fundraisers and have competed as a pro-athlete
GOAL: don’t need major career pivot as I need to return to my employer due to their sponsorship. My industry focus at my current company has been Life Sciences. Therefore, I’d love the opportunity to intern for European pharma giants like Roche and AztraZeneca
Your inputs are much appreciated, thanks!

- BSc in Physics (1.8 german / 3.2 US GPA)
- Scholar of Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes during the whole studies
GMAT:
not yet done
Work experience and leadership:
Will join a tier 2 strategy consulting firm (Strategy&/ ATKearny/ Oliver Wyman) as an associate this summer.
Previously:
- interned at a Fortune Global 500 (top ten) inhouse consulting firm
- interned at a university in the middle east as a sort of teaching assistant for physics and some engineering (more riding camels than real work)
- interned at a german boutique consulting firm (a few hundred employees)

Community and others:
- Secretary and board member at a service club (think of youth organizations from Rotary/ Lions)

- Selection committee member at Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes
- Deputy Chairman of the german conservative party youth organization in my high school town
- Chairman at my student fraternity (mostly fencing stuff and drinking beers)
Post MBA goals:
Not 100% sure. Very interested in PE/VC and IBD, also MBB consulting, for some years. Corporate strategy/development in the long term.
Anything else?
Plan to do the GMAT and try to apply as soon as possible to start the MBA after two (or three) years at my firm (to hopefully benefit from the firm's sponsorship).
Not sure if I will focus in an industry practice or the deals strategy practice.
