Hi everyone,
I thought I'd put my profile out here and see what you may think.
Undergrad:
Film and Video Production at Rutgers
Overall GPA: 3.2 / Major GPA: 3.6
Deans List for 3 semesters.
Extra curriculars:
Developed and Executed a stage show centered around domestic violence with a friend, and am looking to revise the script for touring.
NYC/NJ chapter coordinator of Asha for Education - all volunteer non profit which helps underprivileged children in India go to school.
Volunteered for 6 months at a suicide hotline.
Background:
While studying fulltime - I was heavily involved with the family business in real estate investment and development. This made for an interesting college career - literally negotiating contracts with vendors and contractors in between classes, and ultimately set me back a year (graduated in 5 years instead of 4) because of the time commitment needed.
I joined NY1 news (a 24 hour local news channel in New York City) right after graduating as a free lance shooter (camera person) for about 1 year before deciding journalism was simply not my thing - and transitioned into working on short film and commercial sets after graduating as producer, production and location manager. I decided to join the family business full time after this, where I am today.
I've served in different capacities throughout the growth of the business (seen it develop from owning and operating 1 property to a several small developments and a renovation and conversion of a factory) - namely in operations, business execution and investment advising. Currently I'm in charge of project execution and development and marketing of a hospitality venture we acquired in PA.
I'm looking to major in
I'm studying for my GMATs currently and and hoping to take them in a few weeks. My goal are the top 5 schools in this round, I wonder if this is doable though. If I manage to pull off a decent score (my goal: 760), I wonder what I should do about LORs, and how I might be able to describe my experiences both in a family business and the arts?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
