Hello,
I would greatly appreciate an eval of my profile:
UNDERGRAD EDUCATION
- Attended fairly competitive liberal arts college (though not a top 10)
- Double majored in English and Business
- Overall GPA: 3.8
- Received academic prize for being highest-ranking Business major
GMAT
- 750 -- 89% Quant, 95% Verbal
WORK EXPERIENCE
- Been at same company (major nonprofit org) since graduation -- about six years
- Have had several promotions, and have directly supervised staff for the past two years
- One of my recs will be from my current boss
EXTRACURRICULAR
- I've long been involved with a separate, smaller nonprofit on a volunteer basis in various capacities -- currently serving on its fundraising committee
- I used to do some freelance writing on the side, but haven't for some time.
MY "STORY"
- I intend to stick with nonprofit post b-school -- I would like to ultimately attain a high-level leadership position at a nonprofit (COO, CEO, etc.), and feel that an MBA could give me the formal training and peer education in general management that would help me get there.
TARGET SCHOOLS
- Stanford, Harvard, Kellogg, Haas, Tuck
Would love an expert opinion as to whether these schools are realistically in my reach (particularly Stanford and Harvard) and any advice that would help me stand out further.
Thanks in advance!
