Hello,
Below is a snapshot of my profile/background. I would appreciate any feedback on my MBA strategy.
Asian, female, just turned 24. Grew up in Asia and came to US at 17.
Graduated Magna Cum Laude from a state university. 3.62 GPA. Multiple scholarships during colleges.
(not very worried about the academic piece of my application)
(highest) GMAT: 700 (90%). Retook and got the exact same score.
Notable Extra-curricular: National President of a national business student orgnaization. Presided over a small start-up during college for an entreprenerial program. Raised $18000 in revenue and donated all $5200 profits plus 457 service hours as a company to charities.
Professional experience: currently employed in a financial company that provides corporate governance services to investment firms, such as proxy voting services. Been working since August 2009 (3 years of experience at maltriculation).
I'm a re-applicant this year (interviewed and waitlisted at Darden last year). I'm looking at a balanced package of schools, with 1-2 high-end school and some safety schools. My current selection: Wharton (high-end), Columbia (high-end), Darden, Duke, Cornell, UCLA.
What do you think of my school choices? Is there any other places that you think I stand a good chance at?
Any other advices you can offer? I have been working on R1 on most schools. Submitted to Wharton already.
Thanks,
G
