Hi,
Please excuse me for a slight cross post here. I meant to post in the main forum a few weeks ago, but accidentally posted in a sub forum. I've waited a week or so with no response, so I figured I'd go ahead and post in the main forum which I hope will be more responsive. Thanks!
Work Experience: At enrollment, 4 years working in commercial real estate at a major bank (non investment banking). Have had significant client interaction and managed client accounts independently. Received 1 promotion. The bulk of my experience at the bank has been in resolving issues with problem loans. I feel like that might help me distinguish myself a little bit from other bankers since I have seen "the worst of the worst" but I would like to hear your thoughts.
720 GMAT
Class of 2008 UNC Chapel Hill, 3.5 GPA, Undergraduate Business major at Kenan Flagler
Extra Curricular - College: Member of real estate club, held two positions for fraternity. Post College: Volunteer coach for youth athletic league for 3 seasons. Fund raising for Relay for Life (raised $5,000 this year).
Target programs: Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, Chicago, Columbia, Northwestern, UVA, Duke
Post MBA goal: Continue working in real estate, but in a more entrepreneurial role. Perhaps in PE or for a developer. Then leverage off of that experience to start my own investment company.
How are my chances at my top 3 (Harvard, Stanford, Wharton)? For the others, am I a strong candidate, or just average? As far as strategy goes, would I be better off selling myself as a Real Estate guy versus a finance guy? I worry about applying from an overrepresented demographic.
Thanks!
