Hi All,
I am hoping to get some feedback from anyone on the forum willing to give it, especially those who have gotten into business school with about a 3.1 Undergrad GPA (Political Philosophy) from a top-ranked small liberal arts and a work background that has been high-profile in nature but inconsistent. Here are the schools I will be applying to in October (not in order of preference).
1. Sloan
2. Kellogg
3. IE Madrid
4. INSEAD
5. IESE
6. NYU
7. Columbia
8. LBS
I have yet to take the GMAT but I've done well on Diagnostics and think I can score 700+ on it.
I've had freelance/consultants positions at Al Jazeera English, and mid-sized International Development consultancy, and have worked on two Presidential Campaigns as a major event coordinator. I did project management and business development for the consultancy I mentioned, and was a freelancer reporter/news producer for AJE. None of these jobs I've held more than a year. I'm 26 years old and 3 and a half years out of undergrad. Unfortunately, none of these positions have been "fulltime", though the hours have been fulltime+, I just was not officially full-time/receiving benefits.
Extracurriculars include raising about 400k in full scholarships for students from countries in conflict to come to my alma mater, as well as establishing a cultural/intellectual group on my campus that was integral in establishing a new major and upped enrollment in specific classes by %400.
So what are my chances?
Any feedback is very appreciated!
