Can you please evaluate my profile:
-29 and currently live and work in Canada
-interned with a hedgefund to start my career; however, I have almost 3 years of experience in agriculture (on a path to become a commodity trader with the top agri-business company in Canada)
-B.A. in economics from a top 20 liberal arts university in the US
-low gpa 2.7(really struggled my first two years)
-NCAA division 1 athlete (sport was played all school year)
-the team was very successful and I won a lot of individual awards
-played two years professionally after university
-diagnosed with a neurological disease my senior year (it is an incredible story about what I went through and had to overcome, went from barely being able to walk or holding a pen in class to finishing my season and never taking time off from school)
-one of two people in the world that have played professionally with this disease
-I do a lot of fundraising for my disease and have become a role model for a lot kids living with the disease
-scored a 680 on the gmat (49q 34v), I scored a 730 on the practice exam-froze up on the English section during the exam, so I know that I can do better.
Motivation to do a MBA:
-I want to be living proof to all the kids living with my disease that you can live a normal life and achieve your dreams.
-Would love to get into Finance-the market and what affects the markets drives and motivates me; however, after everything that I have had to overcome, I would be greatful for any opportunity.
-I have been through a lot in my life and will have a much different perspective than others.
