Profile Evaluation Assistance

Hi,

I just took my GMAT yesterday and scored a 680. I desire to pursue an MBA (Finance). A little about myself - I have been working with a big-4 accounting firm since obtaining my undergraduate degree (4.5 years ago). I'm currently working as a Manager and have a CPA as well. My undergraduate degree was in Accounting & Management Information Systems and I graduated with a 3.89/4.0 overall GPA (while working full-time 3 out of the 4 years). From a work perspective, I'm mainly involved in managing engagements/professionals, and doing consultative work. I have also worked overseas while doing 2 expat rotations with the firm's India operations whereby I was involved in managing and mentoring professionals as well as providing relevant training.

I would like to get some expert feedback on my profile. I am aiming for the following schools - Wharton, Yale, NYU, London School of Business, Dartmouth College & Duke.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

-Rav

Rav you certainly appear to have all the core qualifications to get you into a top school. What you should be asking yourself at this point is: do I have my 'pitch' ready? In other words, will your story resonate with a committee to the point of being remembered and standing out among others in the accounting applicant pool? Take some time to revisit your background mentally and draft a personal statement. What do you want to do? Why do you need the MBA to achieve it? You'd be surprised at how weak a response many applicants have to these two very important questions. One of your biggest strengths will be your experience and the value it will add to your classmates. Make sure you sell that part to the admissions committees. Congratulations of all the heavy lifting you have done to get to this point in your career. I think you have a good shot at getting in one or more of the targeted schools on your list as long as you package yourself well. Good luck and let us know if we can be helpful as you prepare your applications.
