Demographics: White male, age 28
Target School: Primary target is Michigan (Ross); secondaries are Chicago, MIT, and potentially some others.
GMAT Target: 710
Undergrad: 3.1 GPA in Mechanical Engineering, University of Maine 1998-2002; Member of varsity track and field team (indoor and outdoor); Scholar Athlete Award (multiple); nearly completed a Business Minor and Math minor.
Work Experience: My current position is project manager for a global project for an automotive supplier. I have been in this role for 1 year. Prior to that my role was as an Account Manager responsible for various customer accounts within the same Tier 1 automotive supplier. I have been with this company since before my graduation from college (manufacturing internship).
Social Interests: Participated in MS fundraisers for 5 years. Volunteered several times at a local shelter providing food for less fortunate. In addition I actively enjoy golf, investing, and many sports.
Recommendations: My former boss is a Michigan MBA alum. I expect this to be a very strong recommendation. Second will likely be a business acquaintance who is a Wharton grad. The third will likely be my bosses boss (my current boss has only been here about 5 months).
I feel like I have very strong work experience and GMAT score, but weak undergrad GPA. I think the extracurriculars during college should offset that, but I'm not sure.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
