Profile:
- 28-year-old Asian-American male (29 at Fall 2013 matriculation)
- Emory University, Economics and History (double major), 3.4 GPA
- GMAT: 720 (50Q, 38V)
Work Experience:
3 years Project Manager at well-known digital agency (Ad Age largest digital agency)
- Project management experience delivering large scale off-shore technology solutions
- Clients have been Fortune 100 companies
2 years Management Consultant at a boutique consulting firm (Consulting Mag Top 10 places to work)
- Delivered mobile platform as program lead for biggest soft drink company where I gain global experience
- Managed new wireless product development as technical product lead for one of the two biggest U.S. wireless carriers

EC:
- Leadership positions in multi-cultural organization during college
- Have been volunteering for 2 years in a program that mentors underprivileged 2-4th graders
- Involved in multiple recreational sports leagues year round (I love playing sports)
- Founded corporate social responsibility program at the digital agency I worked at
Reason I want to go to B-School:
In the short term, I'd like to use b-school as a bridge to join the hi-tech practice at a Big 3 consulting company. My long term goal is to be an executive for hi-tech company, especially a start up or up and coming software/internet services company. Coming from a more technical background, B-school would help me gain a general management skillset and continue to grow my leadership skills. B-school would provide me access to Big 3 recruiters for my short term goal and to a large alumni network that could help me fulfill my long term goal.
Targeted Schools: Harvard, Wharton, Sloan, Columbia, Kellogg, Haas, Duke
Concerns:
1. I feel my EC is weak as I don't feel like I have done nothing eye-catching.
2. My employers are not top-notch, blue chip...but I'm hoping that can be mitigated by my experience with Fortune 100 clients.
3. I want to make sure I'm being realistic with my target schools
Thank you!
