profile evaluation

by islandgurl918 » Thu Aug 12, 2010 1:05 pm
Hello,

I'm looking to gauge the realistic chances of getting acceptance into some of my target schools when I apply this year (2010). I would like to apply in round 1 and have listed below my work and volunteer experience, as well as important stats.

Graduated UC Berkeley with a degree in Mass Communications, GPA of 3.5
Worked for Nielsen Mobile-Production Associate (07-08)
LookSmart (Account Coordinator then Promoted to Account Manager of Western Region) (08-09)
Pandora Radio (Campaign Manager-Inside Sales) (09-Present)

GMAT: 630
Marketing Chair-Northern Ca Chapter of 85 Broads; I help to promote and market all our events, geared towards professional women in all industries.
Other stats: 24 year old Chinese-Fijian American, female

I would like to apply to these schools based on my campus visits and their various offerings and programs:

1) USC
2) UCLA
3) Georgetown
4) UC Irvine
5) Georgia Tech
6) Haas

Please advise!

Hello,

Based on the information you've provided, I'd consider Haas and UCLA to be extremely high reaches. Marshall and Georgetown would be reasonable reaches (depending on your goals and other aspects like extracurricular involvements). I would consider Irvine and Georgia Tech as on-par schools.

Best regards,
