My opinion - an extracurricular could help, a higher gmat, or promotion can all boost your profile.

As someone very young in their career... what is your reason for getting your masters in business twice? Was the first program not an MBA? Again I’m just curious (could be something I’m interested in) & I probably don’t understand, not trying to be snarky!

Thank you for your response that is actually super similar to what I was considering doing! Best of luck :)

Cont: 3.9 GPA for UG and 3.72 for Master. What should I do to boost my profile from now to next year before I apply? Any suggestions?

IMO you can start doing some extracurricular activities next year and give yourself a deadline for gmat like apr or may. If you didn’t get a higher score (which is fine I think 730 should be good), I would suggest start focusing on crafting your story in summer and keep doing your extracurricular and seek for larger responsibilities at work. Happy to chat more in DM.
