Graduated from private school in Minnesota : 2.6 Cumulative GPA - Business (Finance)
Played two college sports - Hockey & Golf
GMAT- 500 but am retaking it soon, all CAT practice tests around 700. Expecting over 650 second time around.
Experience:
-2 Years as intern for private wealth management team: stock valuation, portfolio analysis, wealth management. --Trading experience (technical analysis through candlestick charts) for stocks and currencies.
-2 years at a transfer agency for mutual funds in Milwaukee
-Promoted within first year of employment
-Recently accepted a new position as a Financial Analyst on the Financial Planning & Analysis team at a major shipping company.

Assuming a 650 on my second GMAT, what are people's thoughts on these schools:

Booth - Part time
Kellogg - Part time
Wisconsin - Part time

Hi,

Having gone to Booth and been accepted into both Kellogg and Booth I'd be happy to shed some light on the students who get admitted at these schools. Overall I think they have stronger GPAs and GMAT scores. Your work experience seems encouraging, especially your recent promotion and new job. Is your job in Chicago? How are you planning to do the course part time? Do you want to do part time over full time?

Ace your GMAT this time, Kellogg and Booth are good B-Schools to target. Your work ex is good but overall profile parameters matter and if your MBA Application stands out among others you definitely get selected. You can fill in your profile details and evaluate your chances for Kellogg or Booth. https://www.genedmba.com/evaluate-your-c ... b-schools/ Hope it helps !

Hi brjenkins4,

The below mentioned part time programs are one of the best out there and definitely the requirements are high. Your profile sounds good but you haven't mentioned your aspirations for doing an MBA which is very important as the school would like to know, after doing well for yourself what are you looking for out of an MBA.

Let us know if you would have any further queries.
