Hi BTG admissions consultants,

If you can give me some feedback on my profile, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for Fall 2010 admissions, and looking to meet the round 2 deadline (I know I know).

A little about me:

23 year old Canadian (non-minority)

- 3.5 4th yr GPA from a top Canadian university (degree in finance)

- During university, started a company that operated for 2 years during the summer months, and employed 12 students

- Recruited by one of the largest high tech companies in the world, hired as one of 4 applicants out of a pool of ~700 applicants in a graduate rotational 2 year program

- project controller for a very large oil pipeline project in Alberta

- currently a financial project manager for the same company in their healthcare sector, managing 4 product modalities

- writing the GMAT this upcoming friday and have been trending in the high 600's low 700's range

- Actively involved as a volunteer with one large charity and have been nominated for the board of directors for a small start up cancer charity

My reason for embarking on this saga at this point in my career: I want to get into I-banking/private equity, and eventually am planning on joining my 2 syblings who are hollistic health care professionals in a business venture.

A few schools I'm looking at:

Rotman - 'reach' v competitive v nucking futs
Schullich - 'reach' v competitive v nucking futs
Queens - 'reach' v competitive v nucking futs
NYU Stern - 'reach' v competitive v nucking futs
Duke Fuqua - 'reach' v competitive v nucking futs
UCLA Anderson - 'reach', competitive v nucking futs
Virginia Darnden - 'reach' v competitive v nucking futs
Cornell Johnson - 'reach' v competitive v nucking futs

Can you please advise as to which 5 schools would be a good 'fit' for me, as well as what would be a reach, vs competitive vs a 'you're nucking futs'? Also, do you have any other suggestions for programs I may be overlooking?

Because of wanting a career switch out of my MBA, I've been leaning towards two year programs that will allow for an internship mid program.


Thanks in advance for having a look at this!

Cheers

.samus33 - I'll wait until you've got your GMAT scores. I'll tell you what - why don't you directly email me once you've got your GMAT scores. I can give you a quick evaluation once you're done. Good luck on the test.
