Profile Eval Request

by TopMBAHopeful26 » Fri Mar 04, 2016 7:28 am
Hello! I'm hoping to get input on my MBA application strength. Below are my stats:

GMAT: 720 48Q/41V

GPA: 3.95 from Top 20 undergrad business school. Top 1% of class

Work experience: 5 years @ matriculation. 2+ years in Big 4 transaction services practice. Currently working at large private equity shop working in valuation/strategy group.

Certifications: CFA, completed all 3 levels on first attempt

Age: 25, planning on applying R1 for 9/17 start

Some volunteer experience

Solid recommendations

Target schools:
Harvard
MIT
Dartmouth
Duke

Harvard and MIT are by far my top 2 choices, but trying to gauge how realistic these are.

Thanks so much for the help!

with the information provided, I would imagine you can be very successful in the application process. Strong academics and work experience. Volunteer / community service is important, so make sure there is leadership there, if not already, then over the summer etc. Focused goals. cheers, alex
