Hi,
I'll be done with my BSc in Mechanical Engineering spring 2010. At this time I will be 23 turning 24 over the summer.
My GPA will be somewhere around 3.0, maybe a bit lower. I haven't taken the GMAT but I'm pretty sure I could do well on this as long as I prepare.
From Sweden but born in CT, U.S.A., spent my first 10 years there and soon 13 years in Sweden.
Work experience:
- One years at a advertising agency doing media purchasing
- One year sales at a clothing company. Did very well.
- One year as a teacher, 7-9 grade teaching in maths, physics and biology. I was a mentor for one of my classes and I had a nother class with kids who had a very hard time. The teacher I replaced quit the job for health reasons related to this class. I turned them around and at the end of the term everyone passed maths. Job included parent teacher conferences, grading students, homework, resolving issues such as fights, and so on. Everything that a "regular" teacher would do.
- Internship at a B2B advertising agency in Hong Kong. Worked with one major chinese company and one international telecom company
Extra:
- Prefect in my dorm when I attended a boarding school in high school. I represented 40 students.
- Im a contact person for immigrants coming to Sweden. I meet them and help them out with the Swedish culture. This is non profit for UN.
I am also about to start a job as Document manager at a internet security company. I will be in charge of updating their product manuals and information folders.
My interest is not in banking or consulting. I would like to get my MBA in Entrepreneurship or Marketing. With my BSc I have a analytical background but I need business knowledge to pursue a career in marketing. Advertising is deeply rooted in my family (my father founded a worldwide agency in the 60s) and after MBA I would be setting up a new branch of our new family business in the states.
Do you think I have a chance of getting in to any of the top ten schools? Preferably Colombia or Kellogg.
Thank you,
Eric
Also forgot to mention I worked as a delivery driver for half a year! And have taken a half year course in Copywriting!
