Dear MBA community,
I am applying to Haas (R3) and Fuqua (R2) to start Fall ’11. However, I’m starting to wonder if I’m putting too many eggs in these baskets, as I was rejected from SoM and GSB R1. I’m also applying to a number of MPPs (Kennedy, SIPA, SAIS, Wilson, UCSD), but I am at this stage leaning more towards MBAs and Haas would be my top pick. Should I be applying to more MBA schools?
I am interested in a social enterprise/non-profit management focus, and that is why I’ve chosen the four MBA programs that I’ve applied to. They are all strong on social sector.
I have a BA in political science from a big state school, 3.82GPA, 1410 GRE, am taking the GMAT on Wednesday but should be around 700, quants been around 70th percentile and verbal 95th on practice MGMAT CATs. Four years of work experience: two with a humanitarian agency in DC, two with an education NGO in Beijing. Have a start-up social enterprise training venture in Beijing. Proficient Mandarin, strong international (China) experience. My essays are social mission-centric, with a strong logical flow of work building upon the original inspiration. What do you think my chances are at Haas and Fuqua? Any other programs that you’d recommend applying to?
Thanks!
