If I can manage a 730 on the GMAT and in consideration of my profile below, what are my chances of being admitted to Anderson or Haas? Is a scholarship out of the question? I am debating whether or not Fall 2008 is too early. I do want to get the GMAT out of the way within 8 weeks, however.

Me:
26, male, Asian.

Jobs:
Financial Analyst, Comcast (1 year)
-Report to CFO, creation of budgets for several lines of business, report creation, generally well liked by all

Merchandise Planner, Hollywood Video's HQ (1.5 year)
-Revenue forecasting, demand forecasting, inventory supply, budget creation.

Securities Broker (6 months)
NASD Licenced. Decided I wanted a more analytical job.

Internship/Others:
Boeing Company, Financial Analyst (6 months during college.)

US Marines Officer Candidate, went through summer training program. Offered a commission as an officer but decided that I liked civilian life.

Undergrad:
Econ Major, math and PS minor. Some business classes.
Extracurricular is above average but GPA is a goofy 3.15.

Extra:
Avid road cyclist, small photography business on the side.


Question:
Assuming I can synthesize the above into a palatable application, assuming I can swing a 730 GMAT, can I get into UCLA or Haas? Can I get a scholarship?

Thanks for your analysis.

Hi MIN,

Your GPA is your weakness, but you already know that. A strong GMAT could help supplement your academic profile. Otherwise I think your experience is interesting and will stand out. I do wonder what your post-MBA goals are, and what these strong extracurriculars were, but assuming you can build a case for your goals and potential, you have a strong chance.

Good luck!
