I'm applying for an MBA program this fall. I would summarize my background as a 'rise from mediocrity'. Here are the details.
Age: 29
Undergrad: Cal State Sacramento
GPA:
3.0 BS Computer Science - Details: I will be frank and say I did not take school seriously my 1st 4
semesters. I was then offered a full time job at an energy company my junior year which forced me to buckle down and prioritize. Killed it the last 4 semesters, grades trended upwards and I worked full time.
Professional Experience:
Big consulting - rated top amongst my peers year over year 5 years in a row. Early promotions every year. Business development/pre-sales/consulting/c-level/leadership experience. If you count my full time employment prior to graduation I have 7 years of work experience. I would say this work has turned me into a type a individual.
This firm doesn't recruit from my undergrad. I was referred via connections through my internship.
Extra curricular:
1)Office volunteer lead for firm. Coordinated/managed all volunteer events and non-profit relationships for local office 2012-2014.
2) Really involved in recruiting and intern development.
I'm taking the GMAT on 9/12 (using the veritas prep class now!!) and i'm probably hovering around 690-740.
Given the position I am in now i'm looking at UPenn/CBS/HBS. Am i crazy?
