Let me start by saying I don’t plan to attend B-school until 2011. I want to get started early and have begun my GMAT preparation.
It never hurts to start early!
Profile:
Small private school in Western Pennsylvania
BSBA with concentration in Management (2008)
GPA 3.96
Awards:
Numerous honor societies, voted top Management student by faculty and president of the University
Extracurricular activities:
This is an area I need to improve. I worked all 4 years while in school (3 years at a family owned business and 1 in a large corporation). Consequently, I didn’t have many extracurricular activities.
I have a few years till I plan to start applying to schools. I have a few coaching and mentoring opportunities I plan to pursue.
Work Experience:
1 year as Procurement Coordinator.
Negotiated savings of 20% on indirect material and service contracts valued over $1.5 million.
Starting January, I will be working in the Treasury department of a large Global 500 company as a Financial Analyst.
I should have 3.5 – 4 years experience when I plan to apply to b-schools and a number of promotions in this time.
My questions:
How do I need to perform on the GMAT to be admitted to a top 25 school?
Any advice on what I should do to improve my profile now while I have time?
Thanks for any comments/advice!
