Hi,
Just wanted to see if you could evaluate my profile-- thanks a ton in advance.
I'm 23, Asian-American male, with 2 years of full-time work experience teaching 7th and 8th grade math and science through Teach for America. In my first year of teaching, my students had the top math scores in our region of the city and had the largest increase in scores for any school in the district. I'm currently in my second year.
GPA: 3.95/4.00 with Highest Honors in Economics from a large state university. (4.00 GPA in the major)-- took classes in basically everything including game theory and 2 classes of econometrics.
I have about 30 credits in math/stats(4 levels of calculus, math prob, linear algebra, math reasoning-- basically introductory proofs, stats I and II)-- one B+ among these, all the rest were As. Also have about 30 credits of science class (1 years of bio, physics, chemistry, and organic chem), 4.00 in the science classes.
GMAT: 720 (50Q, 38V, 6.0 AWA)
There are other things. A bunch of academic awards, service-related clubs, and several part-time jobs during college, but obviously the bulk of it is what I just listed. I know my work experience is relatively thin (2 years, full-time), but would my GPA, working in the non-profit sector (Teach for America/public schools), and results of my work experience make up for this?
I'm pursuing and MBA/MPP joint degree-- I'd like to work addressing educational inequity issues, but internationally. I'm aiming to do both degrees because I think education reform depends on both the private and public sectors confronting these challenges together.
I'm targeting the schools like Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, and MIT. Do I have a shot?
