Hi All! Thanks a lot in advance!
I've posted this before, but the forum deleted my account along with the posts. Here I go again.
Age @ Matriculation - 27
Under Grad - Engr major from a UC school. GPA 3.3.
GMAT - 760
E/C
1. I tutored a lot of people in college. Particularly, I tutored a Mexican fellow student through almost all his college courses. He graduated on time, and was employed at a local semiconductor company right after college.
2. I am currently tutoring elementary school students to improve their reading skill. Most of them are Mexican immigrants, and they don't get a lot of chance to read or speak English. One of the students improved his reading skill from 1st grade level to 3rd grade level after 4 months of one-on-one tutoring.
3. I have taken econ/accounting/Japanese classes after graduation. I consider these ECs, because I took these classes to enrich my knowledge. At the time, I didn't think of business schools.
WE
1. 2 years of independent engr consulting. I had a contract with a start-up company for 2 years. During this period, I wrote test programs to automate their test procedure. I was stationed in an independent lab, and I managed the lab inventory for them as well.
At the same time, I also had a short contract with a more established company to write programs.
2. 2 years of application engineering in a leading semiconductor packaging company. It is my current job. Job functions include technical marketing, new product introduction, and logistics management. I have helped some customers to solve some urgent problems, and I believe they are happy to help me with my recommendation letters. I get tons of global experience, and went to Taiwan for business and training. Only problem is that my title is still that of an entry level engr.
Goal
Short-term : Consulting or Corporate Rotational Program (One of our VPs went to a two-year rotational program at IBM. And another VP worked for Booz&Co for a few years. And they said almost everything they know about business, they learned from these two experiences.)
Long-term : After enough learning, I want to head back to semiconductor packaging industry, and focus on global strategy & operations.
Target School - Tuck
I feel comfortable in a small and collaborative environment, because, in it, I can try new things and practice new skills without fearing the consequence of failures, which one often gets in a competitive environment. Tuck is known for having very supportive faculty and student body, and I feel it is the right place for me to learn, and to improve in area where I am weak.
Please comment on my chance of getting into Tuck. Also, if there are more suitable schools, please don't hesitate to recommend.
Thanks!
