At time of application for 2010:
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Undergrad Major: Mechanical Engineering
Undergrad Minor: International Studies
GMAT: 690
GPA: 91.62 (3.5 to 3.7 depending on scale)
Full Time Work Experience: 2.5 years
Co-op Work Experience: 2 years (my school did 3 months in class, 3 months full time co-op job rotations for the entirety)
Applying to: IE, IESE, Harvard, London Business School
So my co-op experience was mostly in product development and test engineering at automotive related companies. Then I went to work as a field engineer on offshore oil rigs for a highly regarded oilfield service company. I have a lot of leadership experience in my current job and in multiple organizations in college. I also have a good amount of international experience having done study abroad in Germany, having spent part of my full time work in France, and loving to travel. I think my biggest weak spot is that I have no real community service to speak of since graduating but thats mainly due to my hectic schedule since I work offshore.
My question is, do I have a good chance at my listed schools or should I work for another year and apply in 2011? Also, what is the re-application process like? If I apply this year and don't get in, would it leave a scar on my application next year?
