Hello Stacey,
I am currently preparing myself for my application and I would like to know if you would recommend any other universities. I have included my general profile below. I like to pursue MBA degree with brand management focus. I feel that my experience with product engineering to management will help me understand the focus in brand management.
I have 4 schools in mind: UNC, Georgetown, Emory and Georgia Tech.
Could you please review my profile and recommend what would be a good fit with my profile and focus?
Profile:
-27 year old Asian male
Education
-BA in Industrial Engineering Technology from state university
-3.49 overall GPA, 3.8 Major GPA
-4 Dean's list
(It did take me 6 years to graduate. I transferred from different university and had to make up for non-transferred courses) I did horrible as fresh/sophomore year. I didn't have a true purpose of going to school, then realized what I wanted to do and transferred to engineering school. With clear goal in mind, I was able to obtain 4 dean's list and graduated with 3.8 major GPA.
Work Experience
-2 internships during school as Quality Engineering intern at Acuity Brand and Engineering intern at Genuine Parts Company.
-4.5 years of post graduate experience by Fall/2010 for fortune 500 company. Here is the list of my progress.
1. Brake Engineer - Brake Shoes
2. Brake Engineer - Brake shoes and Caliper (promotion - More responsibilities from additional product line)
3. Inventory and Logistic Analyst - (managing $250mil inventory movement)
4. Product Information Manager + #3
5. Product Information/Pricing Manager (recent promotion) +#3
I was the "job consolidation" guy at work. With ability to put different hat on and showing my capabilities to handle different functions, I was continuously promoted and consolidated different jobs into one (i.e. Product Data management + Pricing). I came from Engineering background to management position.
I am also helping my parents with their small businesses (2 stores). Although I do not run the business, I manage the property, client database, lease.. etc
Extra Curricular
-Youth Mentor/Bible Study teacher - 03-09 (one of my biggest passion and joy)
-Active member of Institute of Industrial Engineer
-Active member of Society of Automotive Engineer
GMAT: 680 with 5.5 on both essays
Goal: Georgetown University, Emory University, UNC and Georgia Tech
