Ask Clear Admit

Hi team,

I'd like to get an opinion on whether my profile is different enough to stand out from the crowd.

Basic Stats:
- 29 year old Asian female who grew up in Singapore and moved to NZ alone for varsity and am now working there
- NZ citizen
- Graduated with BSc Combined Honours 1st Class in Psychology and Marketing Management (I custom designed my own degree) my GPA when converted works out something like 3.8-3.9
- Did a study exchange to Bocconi in Milan
- Bilingual in English and Mandarin, beginner in Italian and French
- GMAT score 740 (Q50, V41, IR 7, AWA 5.5)
- 7 years marketing experience in SMEs across 3 very different retail industries (fashion, building & renovation, liquor) with a strong emphasis on digital marketing

Schools interested in:
- INSEAD, Yale, London Business, Wharton, HEC Paris

Goals:
- Short term I'm looking at switching into management consulting and work on international business projects and projects involving corporate turnaround
- Long term I want to run a firm that buys small businesses and turns them around hence the need for experience in consulting and an MBA with strong entrepreneurship focus

Leadership Examples:
Current role
- Lead the development of a complicated eCommerce site providing real time data for 80+ individual stores
- Designed and established the eCommerce order fulfilment system including training of regional managers, store managers and retail staff
- Have recently found myself evolving into IT and driving some of their projects as well even though I'm in marketing

Previous role
- Ran the marketing department and grew sales 10% year on year during a poor economy where other retail businesses were closing stores
- Improved standards of the organisation's visual merchandising and established guidelines and a system for store managers to follow, which required behavioural change (they were previously doing whatever they wanted)

More interesting stuff:
- Started up a part time wedding hire company during the course of planning my wedding because there was better ROI in importing from China and re-hiring out than paying to hire items. Profits paid for the wedding
- I'm a Figure skater and have won several medals, some of which were as a synchronized skating team member (makes for excellent teamwork skills)
- Coached adults and children in figure skating and have been a judge at skate school competitions
- Board member of a new charity for chronic fatigue
- Was an organising committee member of a festival that promoted the Hong Kong culture in NZ and aimed to build business and educational relationships between NZ and Hong Kong
- I'm also a recreational aerial artiste specialising in aerial silks and I've performed in a paid production before
- I used to be an MMORPG gamer and held a leadership position of guild officer in one of the top ranking guilds in the game which had a mature international community 25-60 years old

I think I have the diversity for an MBA, but I don't know if Adcoms of the schools I'm interested in would think the same. Any insights you can provide on how I should make myself stand out would be ,uch appreciated.

Thanks!
