Profile Evaluation

by eugeniusucla » Thu Nov 20, 2008 11:12 am
Asian-American Male, 24 yrs old

Undergrad GPA: 2.8 from UCLA in Physiological Sciences
GMAT: 700 (44 Quant 40 Verbal) 6.0 AWA

Work Exp: Worked all through college as a personal trainer, full-time starting my junior year of college, which is an extenuating circumstance I address in my optional essays.

Post-undergrad work Exp: 2.5 years full-time as a personal fitness trainer while also working after hours to co-found a startup web-based business reselling imported goods from Asia. The business has grown markedly, but is still small. Currently no longer training and working full-time out of the office we've recently set up for our importing business.

Extracurriculars: Various ethnic clubs in college, no marked leadership positions. Post-undergrad involvement in non-profit public speaking organizations. Fluent in English and Korean.

Aim: To seek the fundamental skills necessary to proliferate my entrepreneurial drive.

Point in Short: Unique profile.

Schools I've applied to are ranked between 15-30, according to the new Bweek rankings. Hopefully these are realistic choices, as I have no "safety" school.

I've interviewed at a few schools already.

Thank you for your time in advance, I really admire what your company does for people.

Hi E,
Thanks for your post (and compliments). We are happy to help out!

Glad to hear you have had several interviews with top 15-30 schools. That is a great sign, in light of this highly competitive application year.

I am actually not sure what information you were looking for, as you have already applied. Let us know how we can help.

Regards,

N
