Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to evaluate my profile.
Age: 26 (Male, Caucasian, Canadian)
GPA: 2.7 (Have taken 5 quantitative courses since - received A to A+ in each (finance, accounting)
GMAT: 720
Education:
Business (finance/marketing) undergrad from Canadian University. Grades trend upward - 3.5 and 3.8 in last 2 years respectively.
Work Experience:
Full-time: 3 years in business development at one of Forbes Top 10 most innovative tech companies & Businessweeks Top 5 companies
- Promoted roughly once per year
Internships: Financial analyst at one of Canada's largest telecom companies
Extracurriculars:
- VP positions in University Commerce association during undergrad
- Ran 3 large university events
- Teaching Assistant (3 different economics classes (Micro, Macro, Sports)
- I led a trip of 15 to Nicaragua to build houses with Habitat for Humanity raising over $30,000 to support our efforts
- I have been actively involved as a mentor within the Big Brothers organization
- Current leader of all volunteering initiatives at my work --> I oversee and help plan all charity and volunteering work our office takes part in
- Yearly participant in the Run to End Women's Cancer's
Plan: Get an MBA in finance and leverage my skills (biz dev, finance) to gain employment at top consulting firm (tech sector)
Target Schools: Tuck, Darden, Johnson, Booth, Ross, Kellogg
Tuck is actually a big customer of the company I work for... does that help? (hahaha)
To what extent will a 2.7GPA hurt my chances applying to these schools & what else can I do to minimize the negative impact on my application?
Thank you very much!
