Undergrad:
BS Computer Science, 3.27 GPA, University of Southern California
Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Accountancy, 3.56 GPA, Arizona State University
Work Experience:
I started and now run a successful online retail business with sales approaching 250k for the first year. I have gained a lot of experience with all aspects of running a business including sourcing supplies and employees, managing working capital, accounting, fraud prevention, working with software developers, customer service, online marketing (which is completely different than offline marketing). I now have the infrastructure in place where I do not have to handle day to day operations anymore. By the time, I go to MBA, I will have 2 years of experience starting and running an online business.
MY EXPERIENCE BEFORE STARTING MY BUSINESS
1 year: Fixed Income Analyst at a Bulge Bracket Investment Bank (sell side: risk mgmt services, fixed income solutions)
1 year: Financial Analyst at Waste Disposal Company (financial analytics, reporting, project management)
1 year : Audit Associate at Mid-Tier Public Accounting Firm: lead financial audit engagements for public, private and non-profit organization
Extra Curricular: Visiting disabled orphans in China, Learning to write Chinese and speaking Mandarin
Goals:
Get into an entrepreneurial mba program to take my business to the next level by filling in certain knowledge gaps of running a business and developing more contacts.
Recommendations: 1 from my old manager at the waste disposal company and 1 from my Vice President from a Bulge Bracket Investment Bank. Both are direct supervisors and should be excellent.
Please evaluate for Cornell, Duke, Wash U, BC, ASU, Georgetown, USC, Virginia, UNC, Rice
