Hello,
Thank you for viewing my post. My name is Andrew and I am 24 years old (turning 25 in Dec.). I have just recently decided to take the GMAT and apply to a business school. I have the following concerns for my situation.
1) Work experience- I am currently teaching English in Seoul, Korea. When I am finished with my current contract, I will have two years of teaching experience. I am extremely worried because teaching exemplifies leadership and responsibility but it doesn't translate into business experience. Is this something I can address in my essay writing and use to my advantage or is my job experience useless?
2) I am studying for the test now and obviously want to score as high as possible. What do you think is a good amount of time to spend studying? Obviously, the more you study and the more you practice the more beneficial it will be, but is it possible to spend to much time studying and spacing it over too long of a span.
3) I am sure you get this question a lot but I have to ask. What type of score would I need to be considered to a top 20 b-school with the following:
White male, 24
Undergraduate degree- Michigan State University, 3.3 gpa (General Mgt.), also a study abroad for advertising in Japan, Korea, and China.
Work experience- two years teaching English abroad
Activities in College- 4 year member of General Mgt. association, 1 year on executive board as future events planner, and one year as president of the organization.
Volunteer activities-free English to foreign exchange students while in University, Church volunteer work (U.S. and Korea), Habitat for humanity work, walk for hope volunteer, animal shelter volunteer while in Korea.
Also, I have one solid recommendation from the founder and owner of CrossCom National. It is a publicly traded telecommunications company and he mentored me for 3 years during my university studies. He graduated from MSU, MBA from DePaul, and executive MBA from Harvard. I am not sure how much his recommendation will help, but I am curtain he will speak very highly of my body of work since he has known me.
Again thank you for viewing and I appreciate any advice you can give me.
Andrew
