Hi ;
I´d appreciate if you could evaluate my profile
Country: Spain
Age: 32 (33 next fall)
GMAT 730 (Q49, V41) AWA 5,5. TOEFL: Next 25th September
GPA: I do not know exactly how the marks from my country translate, but checking around looks like it should be around 3
Work exp: 6 years in a Forbes 100 Technological and consumer goods corporation
7 different positions, 3 promotions and 3 lateral movements. I worked in sales for 2 years and then moved to marketing, were I still work
Current position, since Oct last year I´m Business manager with 2 direct reports and 5 functional ones and full responsability over the P&L of the business. I belong to the Management Team of the country organization and my current supervisor is the General Manager. Lots of interaction with central HQ.
During these years I have become completely used to work and interact with top executives of my company (To the level of the Global CEO) Extraordinary learning experience.
Also important, since 2 years ago I belong to the talent pool of my company, basically I have been identified with the leadership capabilities to grow to top management positions
Ex-Work: During University I collaborated every holiday season (Summer and Easter) with a local boy scout group in their camps (I supported logistics, supply and kitchen)
I practised Rugby for 8 years, both in University and in a club. Captain of the University team the last 2 years
Since I joined my actual company I belong to the voluntary club where we run activities for several NGO
Why MBA: After 6 very fruitful years, I consider that the moment for a change and refreshing has come. I want to look at the world and my life from a different perspective than the actual one, and learn from the experience. I have always valued very much the capability to adapt to changes and an MBA will help in that sense.
Area of interest: Marketing and General Management (With a late drift towards the latter)
Target Schools:
Safer Schools (Maybe not so safe...) Ross, Duke, McCombs, Darden
Stretch Schools: Kellog, Tuck, Harvard
I recognize some CON´s in my profile, I´m older than avge, GPA is low (but I think GMAT covers this), ex-work could be better and I cannot ask my current manager for a recommendation letter, but I can do to my former supervisor (3 years working together) On the other hand work I think work exp and talent pool recognition help me.
Do you think my choices and assesments are right?
Thanks very much in advance
