Hi,
First my profile:
25, Female
3.15 GPA, Rutgers University, BS Accounting: Have loads of ECs, including intercollegiate soccer (captain) and softball, Beta Alphi Psi - Marketing Mgr, Accounting Society. (Upward trend GPA - the only reason its this low is i spent a year in pre-med)
4yrs WE in Entertainment (Mgr in Operations)- Currenty work for a major studio in Domestic Film Distribution. Have been promoted twice within the past two years and have tons of leadership experience with my current position. Including supervising 3-5 system developers and i've lead many projects that have either saved our company money or increased our revenue.
GMAT: 620 (38,38) - I know this is low, but i took it without studying and i'm planning on re-taking it October 24th after i've completed a prep course. So far from my practice tests i think i can score in the 720-740 range.
Schools I'm looking at: Columbia, NYU, UCLA
Goal: would like to focus on International Business, as i would like to stay in my current industry, but move into International Distribution in an Operations role.
Questions:
1. Columbia is my first choice by far and i would like to apply ED; however, i cannot retake the GMAT until late October, should i submit an ED application and then send them my scores once i take the exam or should i just apply during the regular round?
2. What do you think of my chances at the above three schools?
3. Obviously i'm focusing on these three schools b/c they have both media and international programs; however, do you think there are other schools out there i should be considering?
Thank you for your time!
