Hi all,

Thanks in advance for your help. Here is my profile:

Age: 28
Major/GPA/School/Year: Accounting Major(3.7) and overall(3.65) / top 25 accounting program (largest regional university) / graduated in 09
Work exp: working at fixed income operations at Goldman Sachs (3 years) and used to work as an accountant at a government office.
ECs: Pretty strong (have tons stories to tell because of my background, I have volunteered a lot).
GMAT: 700
Post MBA Goals: work as a financial consultant (independent).
No regional preference

I wonder what you guys think would be "reach" schools for me?


Thanks again!

Sid,
You omitted some info (such as nationality / 'background' etc.) that would help to handicap your odds, but based on what you provided I would say 'reach' schools for you might be highly selective programs like Wharton, Haas, Yale, Sloan, and Stern and "wheelhouse" schools might include Booth, Kellogg, Michigan, etc. To give you a more concrete idea I would need to see your resume: [email protected].
