Hi guys,
I would like some evaluation on my profile and my chances in the schools I am applying to.
General info:
- Male;
- Brazilian;
- 28 years old;
- Single;
Education:
- Industrial Engineering from a top 5 engg school in Brazil;
- Grades not exceptional (7.0/10.0);
- Short course in finance of 10 weeks at City University/UK;
Extra-activities:
- Scientific work during the undergrad;
- Published papers in some undergrad conferences;
- Organized two students' conference, first as member of the organization team and on the following year as co-president;
- volunteer work in a recycling cooperative teaching notions of math and as internal consultant for cost reductions;
- while in the university I putted my course on hold for one year and travelled to London to study english, work, travel in Europe and later study at City University;
- after university I've supported a NGO that supports children with cerebral plalsy;
Professional background: Finance / Equity Research
- 1.5 years as equity research intern in a large asset manager;
- 1.5 years as equity research analyst in a start-up hedge fund;
- last 2.5 years I've worked with equity research analyst in a brokerage house attending Brazilian and American clients; Actually during this year I was promoted to a senior position;
During these experiences I've always performed very well and went beyond my roles as stock analyst, specially on the last years when I assumed some more managerial functions in the area.
Short and long term goals:
- first get some experience abroad working with investment management and later come back to Brazil to run my own company;
GMAT: 640 (47 M / 31 V / 4.5 AWA)
I'm gonna take the gmat test again this week, but I'm not confident once I had no time to study decently on the last weeks.
Target schools on 2nd round: MIT, Wharton, Duke, Yale, Cornell, NYU and UNC
What do you think guys??? Actually, I really want to apply this year. Should I extend my options?!?!?!?
Thanks,
