I'd appreciate any input on my competitiveness for a top-15 full-time program, thanks!
-I'm a white American female and will be 29 in fall 2011, when I plan to enter.
-GMAT Prep score of 740 (taking the real thing in 2 weeks, assume I can get a similar score)
-BA, Political Science (business minor): 3.67 GPA, graduated in 3 years
-MPA (public administration): 3.83 GPA, graduated in 1 year
-After a year in the public sector, I switched over to portfolio compliance in the investment management industry. I've been working in the industry performing the same type of work for almost 5 years. However, here's where I'm afraid my weakness is: due to relocation, then a layoff, then taking a job with a huge pay cut/commute - followed by an opportunity with a huge salary increase and very short commute, I've worked for 4 investment management companies in 5 years. They're all well-recognized names in the industry though. I was also rapidly promoted at the first two companies.
-Post-MBA plans: something finance-related, possibly corporate finance (I'll firm this up before writing my essays, obviously!)
-Personal: ran 4 marathons in just over a year (having never been a runner previously)
