GPA: B.S. from Penn State with a GPA of 3.72, majoring in Finance and minor in MIS graduted 2003.
GMAT: I took my GMAT yesterday with a disappointing score of 630 (Q42, V34, AWA ? )
Resume Highlight:
I’ve only worked for PPG Industries since I’ve graduated:
Credit Representative for Quality
July 2003 – March 2004 (9 months)
Credit Representative for Refinish
April 2004 – May 2005 (1 year 2 months)
Senior Cost Analyst
June 2005 – July 2007 (2 years 2 months)
Financial Analyst
August 2007 – Present ( 7 months)
Not really much extracurricular involvements apart from a few business societies I’ve joined while in college, but not really active. Didn’t think I had to worry about after graduation. College experiences would probably not be considered?
Interesting facts about myself: I am originally from China. I lived in England for four years going to middle school and high school and finished high school and College in the US. While working as a cost analyst, the plant I worked at went through a strike, experienced the American Unions first hand.
Since PPG has an education assistant program, I am applying for the part-time MBA in Pittsburgh. I have basically two options, CMU or PITT. I was shooting for CMU, but my GMAT score is much lower than expected, I am not sure if I have a really chance of being admitted.
Any advise is appreicated.
