Hello,
Could you please evaluate my profile? I would be really grateful.
I have no idea what are my real chances or whether to retake the GMAT.
I intend to apply in 2014 R1 to LBS, IESE and Booth. I would love to apply to Wharton or Columbia as well but I don't know if these two are out of my scope (specially because of my GMAT score)
Age - 27
Gender - Male
Nationality - Spanish
GMAT - 660 (Q49 V32) - AWA 5 - IR 6
TOEFL 109
Bachelor's Degree on Economics GPA 3.3 (top 5%)
Master's Degree on Applied Economics GPA 3.3 (top 10%)ranked)
M.Sc. in Stock Exchange and Financial Markets
CFA Charterholder with the three exams passed on the first attempt.
Experience
- 3 Summer internship in a bank (top 2 bank in Spain)
- 2 Summer internships in an Investment Boutique
- After the 2nd Summer Internship in the Investment Boutique and with my Master's Degree already finished I was hired as a permanent employee, specifically as a Junior Portfolio Manager within the Asset Management Desk. I was there for 1.5y.
- After my M.Sc. in Stock Exchange and Financial Markets I was hired by a bank in a Front Office support department as an assistant. 1y later they promoted me to Analyst in a Trading Support Department. 2y later they promoted me as the Trading Support manager
- TOTAL (without internships): about 60 months of xp
Extra-Curricular:
- I was the student representative for my university class for three years.
- During my bachelor's degree period I was the External Relationship Manger of the AIESEC branch in my region. It is a self-funded student association and I was the funding responsible. My task were contacting small and mid size companies which would like to fund us in exchange of advertising. Additionally, we also managed internships for the university students in those companies.
- I created a blog for the Asset Department of the Investment Boutique I was working for with all the funds advertising info.
- I founded a small consulting firm in 2009 for which I was the Vice President and which is running now a days
- I have just founded a company which acts as an intermediate between commodity manufacturers and retailers. It is in its embrionary stage yet.
- I have collaborated with a small academy teaching basic economics for kids (for free)
I apologize for all this information, I've just tried to provide with all the relevant facts.
I would like to figure out what top schools could be in my scope and if Wharton and Columbia would be too much. I am interested in top finance programs.
Thank you very much in advance for all your help in advance.
