I would really like to go to an international(outside the US) school. Preferably in Spain, but I am interested in INSEAD, IMD, LBS. I want the international experience and would like to learn spanish and have a more international career. I studied French and Italian in College and lived in Florence for a semester and Paris for a summer. I am just trying to figure out what my expectations should be in regards to my desire to go to one of these schools.
GPA, major, school - I was a double major in Art History and Econ at a small well regarded liberal arts school in Maine. Who has a very rigorous econ dept that wholheartedly did not believe in grade inflation and made a point of it. Our Prof only gave 2 A's out of 40 students in our macro Theory class no curve no nothing. I graduated with a 2.9 without too many excuses, I really did not attend class to the level that would be ideal.
- GMAT with breakdown -I just took my first practice test cold got a 620 hoping for 700 but wondering what will be the minimum to reach my desired school
- resume highlights, including company name, job titles and promotions -I work for a bulge bracket investment bank in the equity research dept. I have experience covering many different industries and for many years I was an options trader as a member of a prominent commodities exchange. I have developed a unique skillset with alot of hardwok and struggle most of the people that hold my current job are MBA's from top schools.
- extracurricular involvements -When I was in college I played baseball, I volunteered for big bros, big sis but I am no longer active. I work long hours and truthfully do not have much of a life. Part of the reason I want an MBA for a change in direction.
- awards, patents, publications, etc... -I have no awards, I have passed level I of CFA, I publish stock research on a daily basis.
- interesting personal facts - I have lived all over the US went to many different schools when I was younger. Study abroad in high school and college.
Your thoughts and insight are greatly appreciated. I am also wondering about the use of consulatants like yourself Am I essentially at a disadvantage if I do not use one because my competition is?
