Hello Guys/Gals,
I was hoping to get some feedback on my situation and chances at getting into a good business school in the US (Top 20).
I believe I have a unique story, but I have doubts if it will be good enough to help me get in, even if I achieved a 700 plus GMAT score.
First off,
I have NO work experience! (That might give you an answer right away!)
I have interned on the floor of the NYSE, and did another summer internship at a bank in NYC that was owned by an Alum who graduated from my College and is a doner for the basketball program there.
I played four years of college basketball at the division one level, and I am playing professionally in Europe this year.
I have a 3.72 GPA (Finance), I was All Conference Academic Team, and was given a few other academic/athletic awards from the NCAA.
For whatever it is worth, I speak two languages fluently, and I have attended numerous community service events throughout NY.
Overall, I am an extremely hard working guy, and I think I interview very well. I enjoy talking and I think I could sell myself pretty well if given the chance.
However, I am extremely pessimistic that my lack of work experience will help me get into the top layer of B Schools. It is a shame because I have a lot of free time in between practices everyday to study. For the past 2 months I have average around 2:30 hours of good studying, and I am feeling more confident in my progress in regards to the test.
Thank you ahead of time!
