Hello Graham!
Here is an overview of my candidacy:
Work Experience: 2.5 years in marketing industry (3.2 upon enrollment). Promoted to Account Executive in May 2007. I specialize in marketing analysis and media optimization (evaluating and deciding which media sources should be discontinued or receive additional funding). This is a very quantitative job as it involves tracking various marketing sources via phone numbers. I have also led a team in the past year to improve my client's online reputation. I have improved my client's marketing return in several areas. I have also tested and launched a new print ad campaign in 50 markets. I have developed sound analytical skills and client relationship skills.
Academics: GMAT 700 (47Q 40V AWA 5) GPA: 3.37 at University of Florida (ranked 49). My GPA in the last two years of undergrad was 3.6.
EC: Assistant VP of Social Activities in business fraternity (undergrad); Volunteered for various organizations over the past 2 years (nothing substantial however). Excellent acoustic guitar player and conversant in Hindi/Urdu. Interests: Tennis, economics, and geopolitics.
About Me: Pakistani American, lived in the US my whole life. 25 years old. Traveled to Pakistan several times.
Essays: I've spent 2 months developing some powerful essays and have received advice from consultants. They should be well-above average.
Recommendations: One from current supervisor (should be excellent) and one from business partner who has seen me over the past few years.
I am pursuing an MBA to move into management consulting, as I find this field intellectually challenging and more exciting than my current line of work. An MBA is a necessity for management consulting.
Please evaluate for NYU Stern (aggressively networked with school), Columbia GSB (big reach I know, plan on attending info session), Michigan Ross (attended info session and met 1 alumni)
All the best Graham!
