Hi,
I'd really appreciate if you could evaluate my profile as I am non typical applicant. I intend to apply in the first and second rounds for the next application season.
1) GMAT Score 720 (Q46 V42 AWA 5)
2) Background
Male, 30 years old, from South America.
3) Academics
Attended one of the best universities in my country. Majored in Economics.
Graduated as one of the best 3 in my class. Converted GPA: 3.45
4) Professional information
6 years of working experience.
Entrepreneur.
Founded and operated a small coffee shop chain (with around 50 employees) that I have just sold after receiving multiple offers from competitors. Actually, we will have the contracts signed by the end of the next two weeks. Great articles were published in newspapers and magazines about my company.
5) Professional Goals
Entrepreneurship in finance.
I am currently working on some ideas that I would like to pursue after b-school. I need the skills that I will be able to develop attending a MBA program that is great both on finance and on general management.
6) Extracurriculars
Pro bono consulting for small companies
Some community activities
7) Targeted Schools
HBS, Stanford – Are they reasonable reaches? Will my age harm my chances of acceptance on these schools?
Wharton, Booth, Tuck
Columbia, Kellogg, Yale, MIT
- Should I Retake the GMAT? Will a 750 or 760 improve a lot my profile?
- How would you classify these schools regarding my chances?
- Would you suggest any other MBA that would fit my profile and expectations?
