Hello everyone, I would love to hear opinions on my profile. I'm specifically interested in feedback if my target schools are possible and what areas could use the most work.
Age: 26 (Will be applying R1 of 2017)
Ethnicity: White Male
GPA: 3.85/4.0
GMAT: 740(48Q/45V/6IR/6AWA)
College: Large Public regional school in Midwest US. Double majored in Finance and Petroleum Land Management
Work experience: Private Oil & Gas company specializing in upstream operations (Exploration and Development). U.S. top 10 private producer of oil by volume. I work in asset acquisition and development. Think identifying potential areas of interest by working with Engineers and Geologists to determine economically viable prospects. My job is to then procure rights to drill wells and produce from those lands. I handle research, leasing, regulatory filings and proceedings, revenue tracking, and contract negotiation with other companies and individuals. No large promotions to speak of in my nearly 3 years of full-time experience but this is mainly due to the company culture. It is a very horizontal structure here. However, with our smaller team sizes employees are able to take part in candid conversations with C-level executives regarding strategy and general company decisions. I've managed nearly fifty projects ranging from $3-$15M in value each.
Extra-curriculars: Chair position of largest student association at undergrad university. Intrumural coordinator for Fraternity in college. I started my own small nutritional consulting company as a sort of side business after competing in physique competitions and having a lifelong sports background. Volunteer diet/nutrition/training consultant for my high school baseball/basketball programs and working on developing a nutrition initiative for general study body at that school. Recently started working with some student-athletes at the college level (on a volunteer basis) doing the same type of work.
Now that I'm done with the GMAT (I think) I am working on becoming a guest writer for a friend's largely circulated Energy industry newsletter and becoming a mentor for my undergrad institution's business school.
Why MBA: Looking to strengthen my general management skills to move into consulting or an LDP program. Although my energy experience does not directly relate to this, my unique position at a smaller (in employee size, not scope of operations) company has given me exposure to leadership and strategy decisions. I hope that the formal education and pedigree of a top 10 B-school will aid in the career switch.
Target Schools: (In no particular order) Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Kellogg, Tuck, Ross, Darden
Thank you very much for any feedback/comments. I really appreciate any insight you all can give!
