Hello Stacy
I appreciate your evaluation of my profile
During undergraduate I received a bachelors degree in Information Science with a GPA of 2.63 from the State University of New York at Albany, while in school I worked part time and participated in may different extracurricular activities. I anticipate a GMAT in the 660-680 range (per previous practice tests)
Since graduation, I have worked as a software engineer with a financial services company for the past 3 years with increased responsibility spearheading several different projects and working heavily with offshore companies. This summer I will be taking an Accounting & Statistics Class at a local college to counter my GPA.
As far as extracurriculars I am a Team Leader with NYCares teaching classes for adult learners focusing on job readiness and computer tutorials.
My short term goals are to work for a consulting firm, or a multi-national corporation in a quantitative field so that I can gather the skills necessary to work in Finance with Emerging Markets. My top schools are Duke (for the International Business Concentration), and UNC (for the Consulting Concentration).
I have a few questions which are as follows:
What should I do to strengthen my application?
Are there any other schools that you recommend I take a look at?
Finally, I was already accepted to a Midlevel Program for fall of 07 do you think I should hold out and wait for a better school?
Thank you for your help and assistance.
