Hello Guys/Gals,

I was hoping to get some feedback on my situation and chances at getting into a good business school in the US (Top 20).

I believe I have a unique story, but I have doubts if it will be good enough to help me get in, even if I achieved a 700 plus GMAT score.

First off,

I have NO work experience! (That might give you an answer right away!)

I have interned on the floor of the NYSE, and did another summer internship at a bank in NYC that was owned by an Alum who graduated from my College and is a doner for the basketball program there.

I played four years of college basketball at the division one level, and I am playing professionally in Europe this year.

I have a 3.72 GPA (Finance), I was All Conference Academic Team, and was given a few other academic/athletic awards from the NCAA.

For whatever it is worth, I speak two languages fluently, and I have attended numerous community service events throughout NY.

Overall, I am an extremely hard working guy, and I think I interview very well. I enjoy talking and I think I could sell myself pretty well if given the chance.

However, I am extremely pessimistic that my lack of work experience will help me get into the top layer of B Schools. It is a shame because I have a lot of free time in between practices everyday to study. For the past 2 months I have average around 2:30 hours of good studying, and I am feeling more confident in my progress in regards to the test.

Thank you ahead of time!

PS I am sorry if this is not the correct area of the forum to place questions like this in.

Milan,

You have an impressive background and lack of work experience is not a deal-breaker, at least at a few schools: Stanford, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, IESE, MIT Sloan, UCLA, and Virginia Darden are all relatively friendly to young applicants (those with a couple of years of experience or less). More specifically, Stanford, MIT Sloan, Columbia, Cornell, Yale are--to varying degrees--specifically open to 'pre-experience' applicants like yourself. "To varying degrees": MIT, Cornell, and Stanford accept undergrads in relatively significant numbers, while Columbia, Yale, Texas, etc. are simply 'open' to pre-experience applicants: they will consider them on a case-by-case basis.

Hope this helps,
