Hi I just took the GMAT again and scored a 710 with a breakdown of 83% quant and 87% verbal.

I had a 3.44 GPA from Boston University majoring in International Business.

I have worked at a boutique real estate investment firm for 3 years and have gained more and more responsibility throughout my time here-working directly with our partners and traveling throughout the US to look at new potential acquisitions. I also oversee 6 properties and oversee about 1 million square feet--managing staffs in each of the buildings. My concerns are that it is not a name brand company and that, although my responsibilities and pay have increased throughout the years, there are no titles here so I guess I have not received an official "Promotion".

I have also become a "team leader" in a local community service organization, volunteering fairly regularly.

Anyway-my target schools are:

Duke
Cornell
Dartmouth
Georgetown
Columia
NYU

Other info: Caucasian

Age (at matriculation): 26

Negative: Little to no EC's in college-but since have signed up for a few professional organizations and volunteer fairly regularly in the community service organization in which i have become a team leader.

Thanks-

bussy123,

Thanks for your note. Congratulations on scoring a 710 on your GMAT! Your GMAT score, combined with your 3.44 gpa, gives you the academics necessary to be competitive at your target schools.

In addition, it sounds like you have some strong work experience at your boutique real estate investment firm. While it would be best to have official raises and promotions, you have plenty of evidence to show that you have gained more responsibility over the past 3 years. Just be sure to quantify your business impact and demonstrate your leadership at work.

I am also glad that you have some leadership experience in your community service work.

What are your career goals? Will you continue with your finance/real estate theme?

Assuming that you have a compelling set of career goals, then you should be competitive at Duke, Cornell, Georgetown and NYU. You are also likely to be competitive at CBS and Tuck as well.

Sincerely,

Eliot Ingram

Eliot,

Thank you for your response. I would like to continue on the career path I am currently on. I interned in various elements of the real estate profession all three summers in college and love what I do. I feel that a business education can build on what I have learned over the past 3 years. My short term goals after school would be to continue to work in real estate private equity with the long term objective of owning my own properties. Is it ok that I'm relatively happy with what I'm doing yet want to get my mba?

Thanks again,
