Hello
I'm not sure exactly how this forum works but hopefully if I put down some facts about myself an expert might be able to suggest what things to emphasize more/less.
>American, from NYC, living in England (London) for 7 years (3: college, 4: work)
>Studied International Relations at the London School of Economics (BSc). Transcript a bit all over the place but emerged with an Upper Second Class Honours, "2.1", the second-highest degree available. I am a little nervous about admissions committees interpreting my English university transcript where getting a '60' in a course is the equivalent of a B+ and I have a fair few grades in the 50s!
>GMAT 730 (Q48/V42)
>BCG Associate (London) for 2.5 years - worked on broad range of projects (financial services, pharma, energy, PE, consumer, media)
>Corporate Development Manager for large diversified media company in the Europe & Asia regions (project-based role involving strategic, operational reviews, M&A analysis) current role (1.5 years). projects include significant M&A transactions, re-org of division
>Strong possibility of earning sponsorship for MBA if admitted
>Started smoothie business in downtown NYC over a summer in college (produced annualised revenues of $100k)
>Account Manager for non-profit that does media/PR for other non-profits (6 months), helped prominent NGO reach target impact in annual campaign.
>CFO of small film production company (helping a friend start up, have built 12-month/5-yr business plan) but only just started this 4 months ago so first film not yet produced. $200k of start-up capital raised (part of which was contingent upon business plan I produced)
>Student tutor/mentor at BCG/college
>News Editor of college newspaper
Schools going for HBS, Stanford, Wharton, Columbia, MIT Sloan
Thanks
John.
