Profile Evaluation Please

by mpalomares » Wed Nov 16, 2011 1:53 am
Hi everyone, here is my profile. I would like some help to which B-School apply or to se more or less if my profile fits at least top 20 MBA´s.

NOTE: I´m pretending to enter in class of 2014.

Nationality: Spanish
Age: 26 (28 in sept.2014 and 29 by November 2014).
GPA:6.8/10 (My calculations lead to think that more or less is a GPA:2,9)
TOEFL:105
GMAT: 700
Work Experience: By Sept. 2014 I would have 4 years in investment banking in an American Middle market investment bank.
Other: UNICEF Volunteer, Involved in political issues, masters degree in finance and Banking (GPA:3,6) in a top Spanish Business School.
Languages: Spanish mother tongue and fluent in english and portuguese.

I know my GPA and GMAT may keep me out of top 5 B-Schools but I would like to see your point of view. Also, I may have an opportunity to work in USA for a year, this means applyin to class of 2015 (But I will have time to get a better GMAT for sure and increasing my TOEFL and getting some international experience and 5 years of experience. How do you see waiting till 2015 ??

BTW, do you recommend applying to a large nº of b-schools? I mean,are there other issues apart from money and time spent on applications??

Thank very much.

Hi

I find you a near perfect applicant with a small chink. Infact you should try in any 8 colleges() in the Top 20.

Prepare for the scholarship essays well.

The number of college does involve expenditure but its an year on line and I would have preferred spending a few hundred dollar.

Spending time on application is a must. There is absolutely no shortcut(except for us :) ).

So if you are serious for 2014, have a large bucket and start early with prep.
