Hi there! Congrats on your decision to go for an MBA. I know when I went to Harvard Business School it changed my life, and I am always eager to help other people have the same experience. So, let's talk about it!

First off, can you tell me a bit more about your experience in Marketing? What were you doing at work? What were your responsibilities? Were you managing a team? Managing projects? Same question for your time at the Embassy. Tell me more about your work experience; that is going to play a VERY important role in your applications. And I'd love to learn more about what you've been doing since you got to the US. I know you say you've been staying home, but how have you been spending your time? Have you gotten involved with any organizations? Taken on any new activities? I ask because when you're applying to business school, having a work gap is a challenge. The adcom wants to see your BUSINESS experience, and the fact that you haven't officially worked in a few years makes it a bit harder to show them that. So one way to work around that is to show that you've done other really interesting/meaningful things during that time. So, step 1 will be to figure out how to explain that gap, and how to present you despite that gap.

So let's start there. We've got a LOT to learn about you before we can come up with a smart list of target schools. But I'd love to help! So just respond here and we can keep working through all the details, and help you come up with a plan!

GMAT分数好高，背景也很好啊，好好想想在GAP的两年内做了什么有意义的事，有参加一些NON-PROFIT吗？做一些COMMUNITY SERVICE？两年内发生了什么事启发了你想读MBA? I am just throwing out some ideas...
Good luck! 我觉得你自己想去哪个学校，就可以申哪个学校。

Hello there!
Great to hear from you!

So first of all, to give you a REAL and DEEP answer I’d have to know a LOT more detail about your profile, but let me start by saying that your chances sound awesome. I mean, you have an amazing GMAT, a diplomatic career, and lots of deep international experience. I don’t see any reason why you should not aim for M7 schools. You’ll have to get your story right, your applications tight, and some great recommendations, but things are looking goooood!


Best,
JF

感觉2年Gap了。不知道申请学校是不是会受很大的影响，很纠结。

你要合理的解释你这两年的gap都做了些什么，学校一般会比较注意这一点。
