Ask Veritas Prep Admissions Consulting

First off thank you for taking the time to help a non-traditional applicant like myself. I am currently a 26 year old assistant beverage manager at the second largest Hyatt hotel in the world. I oversee a $3 million dollar operation within the hotel. I originally graduated with a 3.4 in hotel management from the University of South Carolina. I was accepted in Marriott's manager development program out of college and moved to Boston to complete my training. I was then asked to go to Memphis to help improve the worst performing hotel in the company. I was able to move them from last place, out of 341 hotels, to middle of the pack. I was then recruited to the Hyatt Corporation to help a large Hyatt hotel (1300 rooms and $90 million in revenue) re-establish a poorly operating new concept bar concept of theirs. I have taken the GMAT and have scored 700. I would like to attend Darden, Emory, UNC or Wharton as a stretch school. Post-MBA I would love to move into strategy consulting, preferably at one of the big 3. What are my chances?

Also, I believe that I might be an appropriate applicant for a admissions consultant due to my non-traditional nature. I would love to speak to you further to see if I would be an appropriate candidate. Again, thanks for your time!

As for your profile, yes it may be viewed as non-traditional, but this could work seriously in your favor as a way to stand out in the crowd. it sounds to me like you have had a substantial management career, and have worked in the microcosm of a hotel environment which would translate well to broader business perspective. This is how you want to couch your experience. I could see a consulting firm being interested in your forutune 50 management and operations background for sure.
