Hi,
I've lurked and searched this topic a couple of times, but could not find an answer that completely answered my questions.
I'm almost 24, one year plus out of a public ivy, with a job doing medical device (orthopaedics) sales (one of the big 4). Former college athlete as well.
Anyways, I was thrown into the fire my sophomore year in college with my grandfather passing away. I've always been involved with his real estate business (rental properties), but once he passed, I took over. I ended up improving occupancy rates, while liquidating some assets, and eventually closing the business for good, all over the span of three years.
My question is, combined with my age and lack of non-family business experience, would it be advised to work in sales another year or two to increase my chances at a top 10? My GMAT is 740 and gpa is a 2.9 (pre-med like an idiot). Combined, my work experience is over three years, but I'm not sure if adcoms will think the same way I do.
Thanks.
