Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out ways to strengthen my application. As of right now my application is extremely weak, but I'm hoping by the time I apply to schools, I can have something substantial to show them.
I graduated in 2009 with a BA (Economics, 3.5 GPA), and was only able to find work at a dead end job. I've been trying to find something new, but have been unsuccessful in doing so. Since my work experience is no good, I'm afraid I won't have many opportunities for attending a great school.
I have been studying the GMAT, and on practice scores I'm scoring 700+ now (Best score of 720). I'm hoping by test time I can keep it above that.
Also, as far as extracurriculars go... I have done little to nothing. I come home from work and look for new jobs. Obviously another huge hole in my application, but I am dying to change this so if anyone has any pointers to help with that it'd be a huge help.
As you can see... my resume is really lacking, but I'm hoping since I still have some time to build a solid resume I can get something together. Any pointers would be really helpful.
Thanks!
