Hi, I'm very interested in getting an MBA after my undergraduate degree. Given my profile below, what are my current chances of getting into a top business school (preferably HSW, though I'm open to all choices)? Further, what can I do to improve my chances of getting in?
School: Top 5 Engineering, top 10 Computer Science
Year: 2nd, in undergraduate... plan to graduate in 2012
Major: Computer Science + Mathematics
GPA: 3.96
GMAT score: 760***
Coursework: rigorous... I came in with AP credit, and could have graduated last month, but didn't because of the dual major. I also took a graduate level course in machine learning this semester (was the only undergraduate student in the graduate section) and got an A.
***I haven't officially taken the GMAT, but have been studying for the past few months or so. The above score is the most recent one, given by the GMATPrep software.
Activities:
- Software Engineering Intern at a well known company (this summer)
- VP of Marketing for a well known charity organization, working towards providing countries in Africa with money to rebuild schools after civil war.
- Instructor and researcher, e-Learning: was a graduate instructor for a multimedia course focusing on Adobe Flex in a university in India; this summer, I will be a co-supervisor for 3 interns in the same university.
- Teaching assistant: have TAed an introductory data structures course for 1 year, an introductory software design course for 1 semester, and will be TAing a junior level algorithms course this semester.
- President of a monthly magazine published in our university's computer science department
Research:
- Researcher, approximation algorithms: have recently begun research on analyzing LP duality in network applications.
- Researcher, multiagent systems: I have recently begun research on analyzing how agents should act optimally in the presence of other agents. This project has ramifications in game theory and economics.
- Researcher, natural language: developed and implemented a novel reinforcement learning algorithm to allow humans to train computers to learn language. Will most likely be publishing in a top tier conference.
- Researcher, accelerator physics (summer program at an Ivy League university known for physics): designed complex algorithms to model x-rays emitted from a particle accelerator.
- Researcher, ion trapping: within a one year timeframe, successfully modeled, simulated, and built a functional ion trap, a device used to capture and store individual atoms for study.
I used to be a math + physics major at one point... it was interesting, but I decided to switch over to cs + physics.
Recommendations
- Each of my "recommenders" is well known in his/her field in computer science; they all know me well, primarily from a research perspective. They can comment on my work ethics, my ability to get things done, and my problem solving abilities.

Have you wondered how you could have found such a treasure? -T
