Hi,
I graduated from UPenn engineering with a 3.6. I have a 730 Gmat (51Q and I guess 36V)
I have been working for exactly 15 months in a boutique M&A consultancy firm in Turkey. I am one of the 3 analyst so I have quite lot of responsibilities and I have been working in almost 10-12 projects so far.
During undergrad I played intramural soccer for 4 years, I was one of the founders and event manager of Turkish Undergraduate Student Ass. (although this was in my senior year so we could not achieve much)
Post undergrad: have been volunteering in a state college helping student write college essays etc.
volunteered in a Zoo (largest in zoo in Turkey) creating its business plan etc.
have been playing soccer for 2 years in an amateur soccer league with 50 teams on a weekly basis
Post MBA. I will first planning on working in a PE in USA with a focus in emerging markets and especially Turkey.. In the long run aiming to establish my own PE in Turkey
I am going to get two recommendations from my directors (also they are the partners of the company) and I might get a recom. from a client with whom I worked extensively
I am going to apply in Second round to
Harvard
Columbia
Wharton
Stanford
NYU
Chicago
I might add Yale, MIT and Northwestern depending on time constraints.
My concerns are that
- I have less work exp. than usual
- Dont have many undergrad / post undergrad. extra curricular activities ( I am not sure if intermural soccer counts as one)
- Dont have any awards ( can I count Deans list as one) or HKN (engineering honor society where I was a member in my senior year)
What are your recommendations / comments etc. How do you see my chances at these schools?
Thanks in advance
