Hi Stacy and team,
Thank you very much for the evaluation.
I am a 29 year old male (will be 30 at matricualtion) who has spent the past 4 years in the residential lending industry. I began at a brokerage and then started my own small mortgage business 2 years ago with a team of nearly 10 employees. I shut my business down at the end of 2007 at the beginning of the crash and I now want to get my MBA in Finance to do asset management on the public side - ideally for a real estate fund
GMAT - 720 - 48q (84%) 40v (89%)
Undergrad - Humanities BA from Cornell University - 3.75 GPA
My work experience prior to real estate was freelance production work in entertainment industry and a year of management consulting before that (hated it).
I have a good bit of extracurriculars/volunteering but nothing groundbreaking or that I led
I applied to Columbia J-Term 2009 and received an interview but was not admitted.
I now want to focus on NYU and Wharton for Fall 2009 as they have very strong Finance programs.
Do you think I am a competitive candidate?
Thanks,
2011 hopeful
