Career Goals- I have two areas of interest. 1.Work in an international media company/advertising agency in a planning/ strategy role. Or

I would like to know how my profile fits in for a top B school and if it lacks in any way. I work in a creative industry in a predominantly creative role and plan to switch over to a business role after B school. I wish to know if there are any other top B schools with (preferably) a 12-16 month program that would fit my profile.

Hello ishaashta,

Thank you for your post!

I would suggest looking into UCLA / Anderson considering your interest in media / entertainment. If you decide to pursue brand management, consider Northwestern / Kellogg. They have options besides a full-time two-year MBA. Given that you have an undergraduate in mathematics, I'm hoping that you have a solid GPA (around 3.5/4.0) that would assure the adcom you could handle the rigorous quantitative coursework in business school. In terms of the GMAT, you will want to target a 700+ in order to be competitive. You certainly have an unusual industry background relative to typical MBA applicants; however, this does not change the fact that you will need to account for your leadership experience and quantified impact. So, you will want to review your accomplishments and ensure you can translate your impact into terms a non-industry reader could understand. In regards to your extracurricular activities, you have a fair number of interests, but emphasizing your social nature and leadership in your community would help you be even more competitive in the applicant pool. Provided you perform well on the GMAT and have a solid undergrad GPA, I'm confident you can then work with your career history to present interesting applications.
