Dear all,
Below is my profile
I'm a scholar from Vietnam, studying and now working in Singapore. I work for a Singapore local bank with regional footprint, and now in Barclays, a big international investment bank, in IT.
My GPA is 3/4 (Computer Science) with a static trend over the years from National University of Singapore.
My GMAT first try 640 (Q50, V26), second try 710 (Q49, V38).
I got CFA level I in Dec 2008, failed CFA level II in Jun 2008 (among top 20% of failed candidate).
I'm lacking the participation in community service activities (because I spend time pursuing CFA and GMAT over the last 5 years), though I would to join these activities in the future. However, at schools, i did join clubs and other activities. In the companies, i join some sport activities and some forum as a member.
I have a strong interest in current affairs (environment protection, social issues). I would like to work in equity investment upon my mba graduation. And later part of my life, engage in teaching and training other people.
---------------------------------
- If I'm applying to schools like Havard, MIT, Chicago, how high the chances that I can get into one of these schools with this profile?
- I saw some post in this box mentioning 710 is low for schools like Standford, Columbia. Should i leave my GMAT as it is, and focus on other parts of the application now?
- Should I include the result of CFA level II in my application? though I failed that one, but i do think i get some knowledge level out of it.
- Last but not least, I saw from Chicago website, the committee looks at "a history of long-term community service , contributions of personal time to an organization, and continued involvement with undergraduate or other post-graduate institutions" which I lack. Do i still have chance to apply to Chicago and similar schools?
Your help is very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
