Stacy / Amy-
Target schools: Standford, Wharton, Chicago, Duke, NYU... maybe others?
GPA: 3.5 from a well respected but public midwest school
GMAT: 770
Work experience:
Top 5 consulting firm for two years. Experience running supply chain strategy intiatives with overseas suppliers (a lead role in these efforts), managing Indian support team, business case development, intense data analysis earlier in career
Also have some solid leadership experience in college running second largest student organization. Most "extra-curriculars" post-college have revolved around outside activities via job I currently have.
I think my weaknesses are that I have no solid extras post college - ie, I didn't start any charities. Also, as you can tell by the schools I mentioned above I still am not 100% on what exactly I want to do directly after graduation - finance, consulting, etc.
I know long term that I want to do something entrepreneurial - have a real impact on the world - but I realize I need to work a bit on the packaging of that message and figuring out what steps I need to take to get there.
Thoughts / advice would be much appreciated. Chances of getting in?
To be honest, two years ago I would have never even considered applying to these types of schools!
