Nationality: Chinese/Japanese born Canadian
Age: 25
Undergrad - Wilfrid Laurier University Honours BBA (with co-op)
Undergrad GPA - 3.54 (Converted from 12-point scale)
Professional Designations - Obtained CMA (Certified Management Accountant)
GMAT Score - 680 (47/36) - First Attempt
Work Experience
1. one year in a big-4 audit firm (co-op experience)
2. two and a half years at a large Canadian telecommunications company. Started in an Analyst role moving up to a Senior Analyst position on track for further professional advancement. Experience in financial analysis, exposure to marketing, project management with cross functional teams, KPI reporting.
At this point I'm debating as to whether I want to do my MBA with a focus on either Corporate Strategy/Consulting or Marketing. At a high level looking at some of the top US and international schools. As you can tell by my list it's a very long one to start (in no particular order).
1. University of Western Ontario - IVEY
2. University of Toronto - Rotman
3. Harvard Business School
4. Duke - Fuqua
5. Chicago - Booth
6. Northwestern - Kellogg
7. Cornell - SC Johnson
8. MIT - Sloan
9. London Business School
Looking to see what my prospects are. I'm not planning on applying until at least next year for admission in 2013, so is there anything I can do in the mean time to help my prospects?
