I have heard from a lot of people that this year's applications of candidates with finance backgrounds will likely be very high -- similar to last year. In light of that, could you please evaluate my background below and let me know where you think I would stand with top programs including:
HBS
Stanford
Wharton
UCLA
- Graduated with a 3.4, Econ major from UCLA
- Played tennis in college
- GMAT 720 (48Q / 40V / 5.5)
- 3 years investment banking experience with a bulge bracket firm in NY
- 1+ years with a distressed private equity firm in NY
- Decent charity work, but only started in the last few months
Will the above put me in range for the top schools or is it just going to be ultra-competitive because of the recent flock of finance folks back to b-school?
Thank you very much.
