Hello,
I know I am still a few years out from applying to MBA programs but I would like to know what I can do to better prepare myself.
Age: 25 (Male, white, Canadian)
GPA: 2.7 (Have taken 5 quantitative courses since - received A to A+ in each (finance, accounting, statistics))
GMAT: 720
Education: Business (finance/marketing) undergrad from Canadian University. Grades trend upward... wasn't sure what I wanted to do during first few general years/had too much fun. 3.5 and 3.8 in last two years respectively.
Work Experience:
Internships: Financial analyst at one of Canada's largest telecom companies
Full-time: 2.5 years in business development at one of Forbes Top 10 most innovative tech companies (Promoted roughly once per calendar year). Should become a manager in 6 months or so.
Extracurriculars:
VP positions in University Commerce association
Teaching Assistant (3 different economics classes)
Ran 3 large university events
Big Brother Organization
Habitat for Humanity leader - Lead project to build houses in Nicaragua
Plan: Get an MBA in finance and leverage my skills (biz dev, finance) to gain employment at top consulting firm (tech sector)
Target Schools: Tuck, Darden, Johnson, Stern, Haas, Booth, Ross, Kellogg, Yale
Thank you very much!
