Hello, I posted a profile before to be reviewed, but I have put together a more comprehensive profile now. Please let me know your thoughts on my profile and chances at the schools listed.
I plan to attend B-School in 2011 or 2012.
Profile:
Age at Matriculation: 26
Ethnicity/Gender: Caucasian/Male
GMAT: Preparing now, but aiming for 700.
Education:
Initially went to a Community College for a year and planned to take over the family business. However, I realized I wanted something different in my life and transferred after 1 year. I stayed close to home and continued to work at the family business (only employees were my father and grandfather and they needed the help) while attending a small private school in Western Pennsylvania.
(I think this is something I need to touch on in a personal essay)
Small private school in Western Pennsylvania
BSBA with concentration in Management (2008)
GPA 3.96 Summa Cum Laude
Awards:
-Special Recognition Award for efforts demonstrating strong business leadership contributing to the company’s Vision, Values and Beliefs.
-Numerous honor societies
-Dean’s list every semester

Work Experience:

Procurement Coordinator :
Negotiated savings of 20% on indirect material and service contracts valued over $1.5 million. In addition, I negotiated a car rental contract valued at $9 million for my company.
I will be moving to my Treasury rotation in January as a Financial Analyst.
I should have 3.5 – 4 years of experience when I plan to apply to b-schools and a number of promotions in this time.
Future Goal:
I want to pursue a career in strategy consulting upon graduation.
Target Schools:
