Hello!
I write seeking a profile evaluation. Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
GRE: 166 verbal (97%) 160 quant (84%) 6.0 AWA(99%); equivalent to a 720 GMAT according to the conversion chart. I am studying for the GMAT to see if I can improve on this. I know I can do better on the quant -I only had 4 days to study for the test as I was applying close to the deadline for another program, and was doing much better in practice the night before but blanked on a question during the test. I have taken two advanced stats courses and one masters level stats course, obtaining an a+ in all three.
UGrad: 3.52, honours neuroscience, top Canadian university. 3.8 avg in my last three years.
I worked for two years after undergraduate as the manager of a neuroscience laboratory.
I then attended the top Canadian law school, completing a joint M.A/J.D. I was top 25% and won the award for the top student in the joint program (4.0 in the masters component.)
I currently work as an employment lawyer at a large Bay street firm. I have four years of work experience in employment law.
I have a strong interest in organizational behavior, particularly in mental health in the workplace, workplace satisfaction, the impact of flex time on careers and organizations, and pro-active approaches to structuring workplaces to minimize litigation. My post MBA career interests are executive HR positions and/or human resources and human capital management consulting. My employment law background strongly informs this interest. I want to be the client preventing problems before they happen, not the lawyer dealing with the aftermath of poor policies and management.
I'm planning to major in OB or human resources.
I am a bit older (32), and I am a black female.
I sit on three boards, including the board of an organization committed to the advancement of minority youth.
I am a national level athlete who will be attending the world championships of my sport this summer. I coached my sport at both the university and youth level and sit on the board of our governing body.
In law school, I was a member of a number of clubs and organizations, wrote for the paper, was a law review editor, vice president of the students law society, was an executive member of the poverty law clinic and sat on the diversity committee. I was awarded the leadership award upon graduation.
I have stellar references from partners at my firm who know of my goals.
My goals are top ten schools with a strong ob department - hbs, stanford, northwestern, London business school, Berkeley, Columbia.
Thoughts??
