Hey just hoping I could get some thoughts on my general profile:
Relevant info:
Gmat: 740 (49Q, 42V)
GPA: 3.5 overall, 3.8 major
College: B.A. Film, Television, Digital Media at UCLA
College Things:
-Working around 20hrs/week during all of college (SAT instructor then private tutor)
-Last 2 years held 4 unpaid internships at various film companies
Work Exp;
-1.5 years producer/director/editor for new media site. I was responsible for creating short-form documentary work on upcoming bands, artists, and interesting happenings. Some clients included Universal Music Group, the Sunset Strip Music Festival and Puma.
-2.5 years assistant editor for a post-production house. I've worked on national commercial broadcast campaigns for brands including Hyundai, LG, AT&T, Lexus and Skyy Vodka. I'm currently acting as lead assistant editor on a low-budget feature film.
Extracurriculars
-Served as social media and events committee for UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television's Young Alumni Network, which is in it's inaugural year. We've done some mixer events and are in the process of planning a festival of new works and a speaker series for current students
Short Term: Digital media strategist for reputable ad agency like Wieden + Kennedy
Long Term: Little bit more vague, I'm really interested in the intersect of interactive content, storytelling and advertising, so potentially staying on the ad agency side of things or moving to a tech company like Microsoft. I could easily see myself
Target schools:
Stanford, HBS, Wharton, UCLA, USC, NYU
Should I even bother with S/H/W? Are there any other schools I should consider throwing in the mix? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, look forward to hearing from you.
