White-Caucasion Male - 27
Went to U.C. Davis, B.S. in Engineering - GPA 3.08
GMAT 760 (48Q/47V)/ AWA 5.0 taken once
Work experience - By August 2010, 5.5 years work experience, 3.5 years as an engineer at a fortune 100 company.
History of large advancement and salary increases (doubled salary within 2 years), increased responsibility and leadership experience.
Negatives:
No real extracurricular activities.
Upper division GPA was lower than lower division. Worked 20 hrs a week to put myself through college for the last two years after my financial aid was cut.
Attended law school for one semester in 2005 (tier 2 law school), but took a medical leave of absence after coming down with a severe case of pneumonia. I didn't return the following year.
I regret not doing better in college and strongly refocussed myself after becoming ill. I've tried hard to advance my career and studied immensely to achieve my GMAT score.
I'm also concerned about which group of individuals I will be compared against during the admissions process.
Schools I'd love to attend:
U.C. Berkeley Haas part time/ full time
Long shots:
Harvard
Stanford
MIT
Is Haas part time/full time a good goal for me? I'm applying R1 for fall 2010.
