Hello,
I am pursuing a full-time MBA to help facilitate a career change from corporate finance to investment management. Based on the details attached below, I am looking for advice on whether my list of targets schools seems appropriate and realistic. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
Target Schools:
Wharton
Booth
MIT
Columbia
Kellogg
GMAT: 740 (Q48 V44)
Undergrad GPA: 3.9 from a top 50 program (large state school)
Work Experience: Associate in corporate finance department (treasury) - completed three year analyst program and was promoted to Associate - approaching 5 years of total work experience
Extracurriculars: Actively volunteering for 2 years
Leadership: Managing interns and analysts at work, volunteer mentoring
Other: CFA charterholder
I intentionally left Harvard and Stanford off my list as I view them to be major stretches for me. However, I really don't want to drop any lower than the five I listed. Please let me know if:
a. My list is appropriate for an investment management track
b. I have a realistic chance of acceptance to these programs
Thanks in advance.
