How does application quality vs stats affects chances of scholarship at Booth?

Male, European, 770 GMAT, first class in economics from LSE, 2 years of work experience in MBB. I won’t be sponsored so I want to max on scholarship and I am thinking whether it makes sense to hire a consultant for this specific school

nobody can know this for sure. and your consultant has a perverse incentive to tell you it makes all the difference. if it helps you sleep at night, just hire one for a few hours of essay review.

Is it easy to get into either of MBB in another country, let’s say Russia or UAE, with a degree from a US non-target yet good school? I would assume a US degree will be much more coveted than any local degree. I can work in either countries as well as US, and I would love to leverage that to get ‘MBB’ on my resume if that can be pulled off lol I’m not sure if the quality of experience will be the same.

Would not getting that minor do any harm to me short or long term? Im thinking that if I end up at consulting especially no one will care about a management minor they’ll just look at the firm I worked for.
