Ask Stacy Blackman

Hi,

I applied to LBS, and am curious about applying to any of the following: HBS, Haas, UCLA, SDA Bocconi.

About me:
Male

US and recently became German citizen

Art History undergrad

3.1 GPA from a top UC school, with a 4.0 in the graduate classes I took as an undergrad. Low GPA was due to entering as a molecular Bio major

700 GMAT 47q, 39V 6.0 AMA - probably as good as I can do, but I only took it once.

WE: 2.5 years in strategy for 1B+ internet company ,but unknown to the world. In that time I've had 3 promotions, manage global teams, am responsible for creation of own division which i am directly responsible for 4x y/y growth each of the past two years (15 million this year! with 30million expected next) i have been in the division, but an outside hire was brought in to run it (VP level)who I report directly to. It is only us working in this group.

Goals: Art management with a focus in technology

EC: Board of local magazine, sports teams after college. Language tutoring and school architecture and design collection volunteer which turned into a job in college.

Hobbies: Museums, screenplay writing (9 in various stages), cooking, languages (I speak Italian, Spanish, a bit of Hebrew and i want to learn German next)

Thanks for your advice!
