Lisa,
I was hoping to get your insight on my situation. My #1 school is UNC Chapel Hill Keenan Flagler. The Average GMAT is 664 (640-700 range)
Profile:
25 year old male, graduated from West Virginia University BS in Business Admin. Major GPA 3.38, overall 3.08. Spent a semester in Australia at Bond University Business School. Upon graduation I worked for a wholesale mortgage lender backed by Goldman Sachs, was promoted to Regional Sales Manager after 10 months (worked there for 1.5 years). They went out of business last September. For the last 5 months I have been working as a structured finance analyst at US bank. My goal is to get into management consulting at a top firm.
1. Where should I set my target GMAT score to have above average chances of acceptance?
2. Should I try to reach a management position at my current job, or try to get into a consulting firm before grad school?
3. Do grad schools give any merit to study abroad experience, or time spent in SE Asia?
Sorry for the lengthy post...I am extremely determined to get into this school, whether it be round 4 this year, or ED next october. Thank you for any feedback!
