Hi
I am currently deployed to Iraq but will be coming back to the states in November. I want to go to Louisiana State for my MBA. Baton Rouge is my hometown and I have purchased to homes there over the past few years. I really do not have any other schools on my list as I have already recieved verbal acceptance to the other schools near home. LSU is the by far the best public school in the area.
Here is some basic information.
- Undergrad- 2.975 GPA, 3.7 GPA last two years Criminal Justice, Troy
- 570 GMAT but will be retaking it in Nov. I had a 20 hour flight two days prior and a family emergency the night before
- I have been in the Army for almost 5 years. From 05-06 I served on my Brigade's Military In Transition Team and the Battalion Command Personal Security Team. Both jobs required extensive interaction with the Iraqi Security Forces and government officials from different countries. 07-08 I am now a squad leader and run the Common Ground Station team for our brigade. This team provides time sensitive intelligence. I am responsible for over 2 million in equipment and have 3 soldiers under my direct supervision.
- I have been involved in investments (stocks and mutual funds) for over 4 years and have grown my retirement and investment accounts to over $40,000 and have purchased two houses.
- awards- Combat Action Badge, Army Commendation Medal, Army Good Conduct Medal, Meritorious Unit Commendation. I was featured on the Trump Towers website for procuring financial education materials and teaching my fellow soldiers the importance of financial well being.
- interesting personal facts - Lived in Iraq for 27 months
The school's website states that a 3.0 GPA is required. Does this automatically disqualify me? Over the past 4 years I have maintained at least a 3.5 GPA and many of those classes were taken in a combat environment.
Thank you
