Hi Everyone,
This is my first time posting and was quite hesitant at first!! There seems to be a lot of great people and tremendous input on this site. Keep it up!!
Key statistics
- 26 years old Male
- Latino Immigrant- ( don't know how relevant my age of emigration, but I was 10)
- 680 GMAT
- 3.3 Undergraduate GPA (Finance & Industrial/Organizational psychology double major) 3.55 last two years.
- Graduated from a very competitive public institution
- Completed 2 Fortune 100 Co-ops as an undergraduate, led me to realize I wanted less structure and more opportunity for success and initiative.
- 3 years as a financial analyst for a mid-cap firm in medical devices. Was with the company as it realized the 1 billion dollar revenue threshold.
Extracurricular/Achievements
- Help underprivileged families plan for college savings
- Mentor high school students in college planning/decisions
- Undergraduate collaborative research paper published in a nationally circulated journal
- Have been very successful at my current company by driving financial initiatives as well as organizational effectiveness initiatives.
I am looking at schools primarily in the Northeast in the following order-- NYU, Columbia, Wharton, Yale. Although finance has been in my blood as an undergraduate, and the "sexiness" appeal of Wall Street can be tempting, I really want to get into management consulting or remain in corporate finance but with a bigger firm.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
