Currently a student in Copenhagen, my goal is to work globally with consulting or investment banking, pivoting into PE later, starting in France or Spain. I speak fluent Spanish and Norwegian, and can pick up French fast. My native language is Danish.
Next to my studies, I work part-time as an investment analyst at a large regional buy-side firm.
I have a leadership position in a global finance-focused student organization, that has many large corporate partner and sponsors (Goldman, Bain etc.), and hosts events for hundreds of students. I was an assistance youth coach in my rowing club. Alongside this, I have released two classical piano records on Spotify. Before attending university, I was a private tutor in English and Spanish for adults and teenagers.
I will start an exchange program at Wharton soon.
I am also a self-taught derivatives trader, leveraging highly advanced options strategies (maybe irrelevant).
I am Priyanka, Client Manager at ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, considering your plan for an MiM, a 3.8 GPA and a 615 GMAT are solid. Your fluency with Spanish and Danish is also a significant advantage.
Your leadership position in an international student organization and your finance related experience show that you can successfully balance extracurricular and academic activities. Your role as a part-time investment analyst should have offered you good exposure to the industry (highlight that in your application). Also, I would like to highlight that your professional goals and the schools you are targeting are a good fit, good work on that!
You should also think about quantifying your accomplishments as an investment analyst and in the student group to further strengthen your application.

Hoping to hear from you.
With a strong academic and professional background, your profile will be of great help in applying to top MiM programs. Your GMAT Focus score shows that you performed well in all sections of the test, while your impressive GPA of 3.8 indicates good academic performance.
Additionally, given your current role as an investment analyst at a major regional buy-side firm, you have relevant finance experience that is applicable to consulting roles after earning an MBA. Being a leader, among other things, has demonstrated the ability to manage and lead initiatives, which is crucial for anyone who wants to become a consultant. Moreover, your ability to speak Spanish fluently and rapidly learn French is a significant advantage, particularly for courses in France and Spain where bilingualism is often appreciated.
Your goal of moving from consulting into private equity is consistent with the career paths taken by many alumni from these programs, thus making a clear sense of what you intend to achieve. Interacting with former students of institutions where you are seeking admission can provide valuable information that will help you align yourself with what each program represents. Write essays describing unique experiences and aspirations that allow adcoms to see how your finance and leadership background will be useful in consulting.
