Profile:
White Male, single parent/poor upbringing, first to attend and graduate college in my family
Age: 29 (30 upon matriculation)
UG: Michigan, polisci BA, 3.58 GPA, many honors courses, worked 20 hrs a week throughout; fraternity and IM sports, among other activities
Law: BU, median gpa, worked 15-20 hours throughout; President of entertainment-related student organization and involved in various school activities (running orientation, mentoring first-years, foreign student liaison) and public interest work during school.
WE: CA admitted, practicing for 5+ years in entertainment law for a production company as well as independently the last 2 years. General counsel of an educational/entertainment startup for 3 years (that failed
...)
GMAT: 730, 47Q, 44V, 8 IR, 6.0 AWA
Extracurrics: Tutoring (have done so since HS) and lead instructor for law school tutoring company in CA; mentor underprivileged HS students for Build.org; recreational sports (ice hockey/softball); pro bono work for independent artists
I want to focus on improving the advancement of education, through content and technology. Work for a couple of established companies (either an edtech company or an entertainment company in a kids/educational division) for a few years, then start my own company. The MBA will be useful both to make the law->business switch and improve business knowledge, but also to gain experience (with projects and internship) in the ed/tech industry.
My present plan (applying all Round 2) is to apply to Ross, Stern, Anderson, and Haas--looking for another school or two to consider. I am hoping for significant scholarship aid, given my earlier law school debt. Am I aiming too high? Any comments about my chances at these schools, as well as any other school suggestions, would be helpful.
Thanks!
