Profile Feedback Request

by Chris525 » Mon Dec 06, 2010 8:28 am
Hi all,

I'd love to get some feedback from the community both about the relative strengths and weaknesses of my profile, as well as about the schools i'm considering.

GMAT 710 (44 Quant, 42 Verbal) (don't have official AWA score back yet but got a 6 the previous time I took the exam)
Undergrad GPA 3.7 University of California, Santa Barbara
BA Comm. with Distinction, Minor in English
5 years of work experience in national retail as a buyer

I'm interested in general management, marketing and consulting. To that end i'm seeking a good fit for my qualitative skillset (ie. not a heavily finance-centered quant program). I'm perfectly comfortable with the quant side, but I do not plan on going into finance, accounting or other careers of that nature after graduating.

HBS, Kellogg, UVA, Tuck, and Anderson are some of the top schools that seem to match my interests, however given their extremely competitive nature, I'd be very interested in hearing further suggestions for programs.

Thanks,
Chris

Two programs that could be great for you are Indiana (Kelley) and Ohio State (Fisher). Both have great marketing programs and strong ties to industry. Ohio State is particularly close to The Limited.
