Hey Stacy/Lisa,
I am new to the forums..mostly because I have been putting off applying for graduate school do to a terrible GPA. I bet you've never heard that story before? haha. Anyways, here is a little about me and any feedback/criticism/subtle dream-dashing is greatly appreciated.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Schools: Any in the top 20 - Univ. of Texas and Berkeley would be ideal.
GMAT: 720
GPA: 2.5
Designations: CPA, CFA (Level 1) Complete
Work experience: Will be 4 years when I apply. 2 of the largest finance companies in the industry; I am in Mutual fund wholesaling now and have taken roles of progressive responsibility.
I am hoping that passing the CPA and the first part of the CFA helps add some academic credibility. I thought I was going into the family business after college so I spent more time socializing than doing schoolwork. Should I take some undergrad classes part time while I work (Do grad schools even consider these)? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
PB
