Fall 2013 Profile Eval

by avada » Sun Oct 07, 2012 11:37 am
I am a 28 year old male. I just took my Gmat and scored a 710(45q.41v)
Education:
Attended a large Southern University
I graduated with a communications degree with a 2.8~GPA
I went back last year while working and have almost completed a second degree in Economics with a 3.9gpa( i have three classes left) In all econ and math courses I got an A
I played sports during college and was an all conference athlete
I made the deans list during the Econ degree and was a scholar athlete one time during the comm degree

Work Experience:
Ive worked as the CFO for a small company since 2009
I worked as a business analyst for a year to broaden my skill set
I also worked as a consultant for a short stint(on my own)

Extras:
Played sports in college
I host 2 charity events every year that I myself designed. I organize them and run them


Target schools:
University of Texas
Texas A&M
Michigan


What are my chances at these schools and can I reach higher? Obviously I am not HBS material but anything higher than what I am shooting for now?
As far as my GPA, I worked to put myself through school and had a plethora of reasons why my gpa wasnt great before. I took care of an ill family member in this time as well.

Thanks for your help

Depends on a few things, not least of which how big (or small) is the small company of which you are CFO. I would say that with your GMAT and a good story you can easily aim for schools ranked 20-50 (so a bit higher than what you are aiming at now), and maybe even better schools too, depending on what else you have thee. anyhow, if you have a "dream school" it's ALWAYS a good idea to apply, because really, you never do know.
