Thank you for your help and any advice/recommendations you could offer would be appreciated:
1) Participate in a rotational program at a major Bank in credit risk management (work two distinct roles for one year each in loan monitoring and financial analysis). Currently have 24 months of work experience, but by Fall 2012 will be closer to 38
2) 710 GMAT score (quant: 47 verbal: 39 awa: 6)
3) Undergraduate degree from Wake Forest University, majored in psychology with a minor in entrepreneurship with a 3.8 GPA
4) I am a part of the women's leadership development organization at my comapany; volunteer at a school and homeless shelter about 1-2x/month
5) No important certifications
6) I would like to go to a top 10 program ideally and would be happy going to a program in the top 20. Target Schools: Kellogg, Harvard, Stanford, UCLA, Berkeley, Duke
7) My post-MBA goal is to work for a smaller entrepreneurial company and eventually start my own business.
*As a side note I am a 24 year old female
- Are my target schools realistic given my background?
- What do you see as my greatest strengths and shortcomings in regards to my application?
- My length of work experience seems to be on the lower end for most of my target schools. Does this make me significantly less competitive, or should I still apply?
- Is there anything I can realistically do in the next couple months to bolster my chances of getting into one of these schools?
