Hello! I am a 24 year old female, and I will be applying for 2010 admissions. I am studying for the GMAT and anticipate scoring a 710 or 720 based on my practice test scores. I have worked in corporate accounting for 3 years, since graduating from a top 50 undergrad with a 3.7 GPA and a double major in Finance & Psychology. I have moved around to several positions in my 3 years- 1 year as a project analyst, 1 year supervising a team of 3 in Division Accounting and 1 year (so far) supervising a team of 6 in A/P. I have been volunteering for one organization for the past 5 months and plan to continue until I leave the area (for school).
I plan to apply to top 20 schools, with a few top 50 as safety schools. After reading about what most MBA programs are looking for, my concern is twofold: 1) that my current community involvement may be lacking (with just one non-leadership volunteer position), and 2) that I have not spent a significant amount of time abroad, having spent only 1 month over a summer studying abroad.
Could you make some recommendations to help me distinguish myself in the application process? Should I push for a leadership role in my community, outside of work?
Thanks in advance!
