Advice Please

by jslachey » Wed Nov 12, 2008 11:10 am
Hey,
Hope you are doing well.

I am a prospective student applying to MBA programs.

Brief intro about me, Graduated from University of Houston with BBA in Accounting and Finance and working as an auditor since then. I am a Manager in Deloitte's Audit Practice in Houston focusing on Oil & Gas companies. I am a CPA, CMA and CFA Level 2. So can you give me a feedback if I am competitive ? (GPA: 3.2 and GMAT: 740). Age is on the high end. Will be 29 next year.

Target schools are Wharton, UofChicago, Columbia, Kellogg, Yale, NYU (2nd round)?

What school do you think will be safety ones?(2nd round)

Regards,
James

If you can write strong essays and obtain great LORs then you should definitely be a competitive candidate. You can look at lower ranked programs for a "safety school" however you need to choose a school that you would actually consider attending and that also offers the areas of specialization you are seeking.
